Questioning the ‘astute silence’, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta tweeted, “Shahrukh Khan has and continues to give jobs and livelihoods to thousands in the film industry. He has always stood up for every cause for the film industry. And the astute silence of the same film industry in his moment of crisis is nothing short of SHAMEFUL.” He had further added, “Aaj uska beta hai, kal mera ya tumhaara hoga… Tab bhi issi buzdalli se chup rahoge??? (Today it is his son, tomorrow it will be mine or yours… will you still maintain this cowardly silence???)”.

According to the latest developments, Prabhakar Sail, the personal bodyguard of witness K P Gosavi, has allegations against the agency’s zonal director Sameer Wankhede. His accusations include discussions of a payoff to Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials. Reacting to the same, NCB’s zonal director Sameer Wankhede wrote to Mumbai police commissioner expressing fear that he may be framed in a case. “It has come to my notice that some precipitate legal action for framing me falsely is being planned by unknown persons in relation to the alleged vigilance issue,” said Wankhede, adding that the NCB deputy director general, Mutha Jain, has referred the matter to the director general of NCB for necessary action. NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede also appeared before the Special NDPS court and told the judge that he was being targeted, along with his sister and deceased mother. He stated that he was ready for a probe.
Aryan Khan was arrested with seven others during a drugs bust on a luxury cruise on October 3. His lawyers have argued that he was not in possession of any contraband. But the NCB lawyer opposed Aryan’s bail on the grounds of alleged WhatsApp chats that indicate an international drugs racket.
