MUMBAI: In an internal report, the NCB's SIT has faulted the investigation process in the drugs case, saying Aryan Khan's mobile phone was "voluntarily handed over by him" but it "was not followed by formal seizure procedure".
The report noted,"It is strange to note that in spite of clear cut denial by Arbaaz (Merchant), regarding involvement of Aryan in the procurement and possession of drugs from him, the investigating officer started looking at WhatsApp chats of Aryan without even formally seizing the mobile phone of Aryan."
