Aryan Khan (23) was arrested with a few others on October 3 after the NCB had raided a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast and claimed to have seized drugs, including charas.
A special court here on October 20 denied bail to Aryan Khan, observing that. 'on the face of it', he was indulging in "illicit drug activities on a regular basis".
His WhatsApp chats also showed, prima facie, that he was in touch with drug peddlers, the court noted.
Aryan Khan subsequently moved the Bombay High Court to challenge the lower court's order. The HC on Thursday said it would hear his bail plea on October 26.
