ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ITDC NEWS R A Shiv Sena leader has moved the Supreme Court seeking judicial inquiry into affairs of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) at Mumbai and its officials in the wake of the arrest of Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan in a case of alleged seizure of drugs from a cruise ship in Mumbai.

The petition has urged the apex court to take suo moto cognizance to protect the fundamental rights of Aryan who has been booked under the NDPS Act by NCB, Zonal Office, Mumbai.

"I would like to point out towards the malafide style, approach and dirty vendetta affairs of NCB at Mumbai and its officials targeting select film celebrity & few models since last two years and would like to request Your honour to order to institute special judicial investigation & enquiry to unearth the role of NCB official," the plea filed by Mumbai-based Shiv Sena leader Kishore Tiwari said
