Mumbai/Bhubaneswar: The Esplanade Magistrate Court will hear an bail application moved by Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan tomorrow, who was arrested on October 2 evening in connection with the cruise ship drug party case.

The court has posted a hearing on the bail application to 11 AM tomorrow and directed the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to submit a reply by then.
