Manish Rajgaria and Avin Sahu became the first accused in this high-profile case to get bail.

 

The Narcotics Control Bureau had claimed that the two were among the "guests" on the cruise ship where narcotic drugs were recovered off the Mumbai coast on October 2.

The NCB has arrested as many as 20 people in the case including Aryan Khan.

The special court for Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act cases had earlier rejected the bail applications of Aryan and two others in the case. The Bombay high court is now hearing their bail pleas.
