Aryan Khan's Drug Case: SIT Suggests Extortion Probe May Close After Pooja Dadlani Skips Summons

The popular celeb kid, Aryan Khan, was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) along with his friends, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmum Dhamecha on October 2, 2021, after a drug bust in a Mumbai cruise ship. After a lot of investigation and a series of twists and turns, it was on October 29, 2021, when after spending three weeks in Arthur Road jail, Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, was granted bail by the Bombay High Court. 

Everyone is aware of the impact Aryan Khan's arrest had on his father, Shah Rukh Khan, as he had halted the shooting of all his upcoming projects. It was indeed a dark time for his massive fanbase, as the actor hadn't given a single public appearance until his son was granted bail. However, it seems like things are getting back on track, as Shah Rukh had made his first public appearance on December 22, 2021, since his son, Aryan's bail. The pictures are all over the internet, and SRKians are overjoyed as their King Khan is back in action.

According to a report in ETimes, Special Investigation Team (SIT) is likely to close the extortion probe in Aryan Khan's Mumbai cruise drug case after his father, Shah Rukh Khan's manager, Pooja Dadlani, failed to appear to record her statement. It is also added that Pooja has yet to file a legal complaint supporting her revelation that she had received calls for extortion. As per the reports, Special Investigation Team has already sent two summons to the celebrity manager. But there is no response from Pooja Dadlani's side, which is why the chances are high that the extortion angle will be closed by the investigative team.

A senior IPS officer also addressed the extortion case and Pooja Dadlani's decision to not appear to file an official complaint during a conversation with ETimes. The officer explained that they hadn't received any formal complaint of extortion so far, hinting towards the possibility of nullifying the probe in the coming days or weeks. The IPS officer said:

"There is no official complaint of extortion. However, so far no one has come forward for recording the statement."
