Union Minister Ramdas Athawale Advises Shah Rukh Khan To Send Aryan To Rehabilitation Centre

Mumbai: Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale on Sunday advised Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan to send son Aryan Khan, who is arrested in a drugs-on-cruise case, to a rehabilitation centre.

“It is not good to take drugs at a young age. Aryan Khan has a future ahead. I advise Shah Rukh Khan to send Aryan Khan to a de-addiction rehabilitation centre associated with the ministry. He should be there for 1-2 months instead of keeping him in jail. There are a lot of such centres across the country. In 1-2 months, he will be cured of drug addiction,” the Union Minister told ANI.

He also said that as per his ministry a new law should be formulated under which the accused should not be sent to jail.

Athawale further lauded Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede for his investigation into the cruise drugs case and said, “At least 5-6 times, the court has received a bail petition but was rejected. This shows that NCB has full approval and it is wrong to say that his arrest is unlawful,” he said.
