Central Agencies Targeting SRK’s Son Because Of His Surname ‘Khan’: Mehbooba Mufti

Srinagar: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday slammed the government at the center and its investigating agencies in regards to the arrest of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s 23-year-old son Aryan Khan.

According to her, instead of making an example out of the Union Minister’s son accused of killing four farmers, central agencies are after a 23-year-old simply because his surname happens to be ‘Khan’.

Mehbooba in a tweet said, ‘Instead of making an example out of a Union Minister’s son accused of killing four farmers, central agencies are after a 23 year old simply because his surname happens to be Khan.”

“Travesty of justice that muslims are targeted to satiate the sadistic wishes of BJPs core vote bank,” the tweet added.

Aryan Khan was arrested on October 3 in connection with the seizure of banned drugs onboard a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.

He is currently in judicial custody and lodged at the Arthur Road prison in Mumbai. (Agencies)
