										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aryaan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan&#8217;s son, is now being probed after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided a gathering on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai on Saturday night. Other persons being interrogated in the matter, according to reports, include actor Arbaaz Merchantt, Munmun Dhamecha, Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker, and Gomit Chopra.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is the outcome of two-week-long meticulous research. We acted based on particular intelligence information, and the participation of some Bollywood connections has come to light &#8220;NCB Chief SN Pradhan tells ANI.</p>
<p>According to NCB investigators, the males seized had narcotics hidden within the seams of their pants, while the ladies had drugs hidden in the handles of their handbags and inside sanitary napkins.</p>
