Aryan Khan's bail application was heard before the honorable court a couple of hours back, and during the hearing, NCB requested the court to extend the custodial time to unravel the mysteries surrounding the drug bust. 

While extending the custody of Aryan Khan and seven others, a judge said that investigation is of prime importance, and it will help both the accused and the investigator to bring out the truth.
