Aryan Khan to be lodged in the jail that once housed Sanjay Dutt, Ajmal Kasab, Chhota Rajan, and Abu Salem

Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's bail plea was rejected by a Mumbai court on Friday. The court also rejected the bail pleas of co-accused Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant. They were arrested on October 3 after the Narcotics Control Bureau conducted a raid on Goa bound cruise ship from Mumbai. With their bail peas rejected, Aryan Khan and the other accused will be lodged in Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai. Aryan Khan will not be given any special treatment and will be treated like every other under-trial prisoner.
