October 21: Aryan Khan?s legal team moved to the Bombay High Court. On the same day, the NCB summoned Bollywood actress Ananya Panday for questioning. She was asked about her WhatsApp chats with Aryan, and the actress claimed she never used any narcotics. She was also asked if Aryan Khan was ordering drugs, whether he was ordering drugs for himself and his friends; and who provided the drugs to her. The same day the NCB visited her Mumbai residence to collect a few documents. An NCB team went to Shah Rukh Khan’s residence too to collect some documents regarding his son Aryan Khan, but no raids were conducted during the visit.

October 29: Despite securing bail from the Bombay High Court in a drugs case, Aryan and others had to spent one more night in prison as documents related to their release did not reach jail authorities in time on Friday. The court imposed 14 conditions on Aryan, including bond payment of Rs 1 lakh and weekly visit to the NCB office in Mumbai. A special court issued the release memo for Aryan, but his legal team could not meet the deadline for submission of papers.
