Kaabil filmmaker Sanjay Gupta reacted to the Bombay High Court's recent order in the drugs-on-cruise case, which stated that no ‘positive evidence' was found against superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan in the case. Aryan had spent almost a month behind bars while matters were investigated.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Gupta wrote, "So, Aryan Khan is and was innocent says Bombay High Court. Who compensates for what he went through, his family went through?"

He also took a dig at media channels by writing, "Headlines in all newspapers today. Now can the news channels also amplify Aryan Khan's innocence the way they did the false and baseless allegations."

The Bombay High Court, in its order issued on Saturday, had said that there is "hardly any positive evidence" against Aryan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha, who were arrested in the drugs-on-cruise case, for the offence of conspiracy under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

The Court also noted that Khan was not in possession of drugs while the other two had "small quantities" of drugs, under the NDPS Act.

An NCB team busted an alleged drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship, which was on its way to Goa at mid-sea on October 2 night. Eight persons were detained for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the drug seizure on the cruise ship. Aryan, Merchant, and Dhamecha were among those who were arrested.
