Mumbai: Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant – Aryan Khan’s co-accused in the drugs-on-cruise case – were released on bail this morning, three days after the Bombay High Court ordered their release.
Ms Dhamecha left Mumbai’s Byculla Women’s Jail and Mr Merchant the city’s Arthur Road Jail, from which Aryan Khan, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s son was released yesterday (to much fanfare).
“She has been released from the jail after completion of all legal formalities. We are now going to file an application before the NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) seeking permission to allow her to go Madhya Pradesh, as she hails from there,” Ms Dhamecha’s lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan told PTI.
“I am immensely happy… his mother is happiest our son has come home. Our prayers and blessings came true. We’ll obey bail conditions religiously,” Mr Merchant’s father, Aslam Merchant, told ANI.
