Meanwhile, it was early Diwali at Shah Rukh Khan's residence Mannat as fans thronged to celebrate bail to their favourite star's son. Fans cheered and burst crackers outside Mannat on Thursday evening.

The case ignited a debate over whether Aryan Khan's incarceration was justified, given that no drugs were found on him and there were no signs of use. Social media has been flooded with messages of support, with many calling the arrest a witch-hunt.

Calling Aryan's arrest a "travesty of justice", his lawyer Satish Maneshinde said that the case was not such that warranted the 23-year-old's arrest.

Aryan Khan's lawyers had argued in court that no drugs were found on him and that the grounds for his arrest were flimsy.

The NCB, however, claimed he was part of a conspiracy and that his WhatsApp chats revealed his involvement in illicit drug dealings.
