Mumbai: The actor spoke to Aryan using an intercom phone, placed on both sides of a glass wall. The wall divides the visitors and prisoners. The entire conversation took place in the presence of jail police personnel.

In another development, an NCB team on Thursday visited SRK’s bungalow Mannat in Bandra in connection with the drugs case. They said that they had gone to seek some documents related to the Aryan Khan case. NCB deputy director Ashok Mutha Jain clarified that there was no raid at Mannat. “We had gone there as part of procedural requirement pertaining to the case,” Mutha told reporters.

Shah Rukh Khan’s meeting with his son was his first since Aryan’s arrest on October 3.

“There are 24 phone sets in the room where relatives/ visitors can talk to inmates using intercom phones,” said an Arthur Road jail officer. Khan visited the jail at around 9 am; Aryan has been there for the last two weeks. Shah Rukh Khan registered himself in the ‘mulaqat’ register before meeting Aryan.
