Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's 23-year-old son Aryan Khan is one among the eight people being questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau or NCB following a raid at a party on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai last night, the agency confirmed in a statement.
There are two women among the eight being questioned.
The eight people are: Munmun Dhamecha, Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker, Gomit Chopra, Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant.
"All eight, including Aryan Khan, are being questioned. Based on their statements further action will be taken," said the anti-drugs agency.
The NCB team boarded the ship disguised as passengers, sources said.
Drugs like Ecstasy, Cocaine, MD (Mephedrone) and Charas were recovered from the party on board the ship, the agency said.
