Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, 23, who is currently lodged in Arthur Road prison in Mumbai, reportedly underwent a counselling session with NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) officials, including zonal director Sameer Wankhede and social workers. An unnamed official told an agency on Saturday that Aryan was counselled along with the seven other accused, including Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha during the session, where he reportedly said that he would work for the “upliftment of the poor” post his release.

As per the official, Aryan allegedly said he would work for the “social and financial upliftment of the poor and downtrodden” and that he’d “never do anything which could bring him publicity for the wrong reasons”. No further details were given with regard to the session or issues addressed in it.

Aryan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau following an alleged drug seizure from a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast on October 2. A special court for Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act cases will pass an order on Aryan’s bail plea on October 20.
