In a rather short span of time or 27 days, the country was enthralled by the legal arguments in the drug case and settled with their own theories. The agog was greater than what the country saw following the sudden demise of Sushant Singh Rajput.

NCB Zonal director Sameer Wankhede, who is in charge of the cruise drug case investigation, has faced attack from one of Maharashtra’s Cabinet ministers, and the bodyguard of an NCB witness has alleged corruption following which a five-member vigilance probe team from NCB arrived in Mumbai.

Mumbai Police has also appointed an ACP-rank officer to investigate allegation of corruption against Wankhede.

The Bombay High Court on Thursday granted bail to Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha after hearing of their bail pleas.

While Arbaaz Merchant is also lodged at Arthur Road jail, Munmun Dhamecha is at Byculla women prison.
