Now, a while back, Shah Rukh Khan was spotted visiting his son, Aryan in the jail for the first time. There were reports that Shah Rukh was connecting with his son through video calls for the longest time. However, now the actor stepped out to visit his son at the Arthur road jail during these testing times. Later, he was spotted leaving the jail.
According to a journalist, Faye D’souza, the reason for the delay in Aryan Khan’s bail is because of his WhatsApp chats. The journalist had quoted its source as “Khan was not found with any drugs in his possession but the NCB argued that they have access to WhatsApp chats that suggest he was regular user, overseas. Including a chat that said “Let’s have a blast” which the NCB interprets as intention to consume drugs.”

He was provided with a mobile phone by the jail authorities from which he had dialled his mother’s number. This supervised call was in line with a High Court order which states that the prisoners are allowed a video call with their families twice a week, as physical meetings are restricted due to the ongoing pandemic.
