MUMBAI: The high-profile arrest of Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) from a cruise ship in a drugs case last year had made a lot of noise in the country. From politicians to Bollywood celebrities, many people had supported the idea that it was a politically motivated move. Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has joined the chorus and said that it looks like there was a political intention to tarnish Shah Rukh Khan and his son Aryan's reputation.

Talking about Aryan’s Drugs Case, Tovino said, "That was their purpose. That was the intention I think, from whatever we know now, there was a political intention to tarnish Shah Rukh Khan's reputation, his son's reputation, it looks like that. I'm not stating it but it looks like that."

Soon after certain reports surfaced, NCB Deputy Director-General Sanjay Singh and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) issued a statement claiming that "the media reports about Aryan given a clean chit are not true and they are just speculalions", since "the investigation is not yet complete". When Tovino was informed about the development, he replied, "People will believe it was manipulated. That there was some kind of manipulation, which is why he is clear now. People like to think that."

A couple of days ago, a new report claimed that there was no evidence to prove that Aryan was a part of an international drug syndicate, as per the NCB sources.
