										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A special court in Mumbai on Wednesday denied the bail application filed by Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, in the drugs-on-cruise case, saying that his WhatsApp messages looked to suggest that he habitually engaged in &#8220;illicit drug activities.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Judge VV Patil said in this order: &#8220;WhatsApp chats prima facie reveals accused Aryan Khan is dealing in illicit drug activities for narcotic substances on regular basis. Therefore, it cannot be said that Khan is not likely to commit a similar offense while on bail.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The evidence presented in court also indicates a &#8220;nexus&#8221; between Aryan Khan, 23, and suppliers and peddlers, according to the court.</p>
