Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan drug case: NCB summons Ananya Panday again for questioning on Oct 25

According to a report on Times Now, the actress is not an 'accused' in the ongoing drugs case, but has been called in by the agency as a 'witness'.

The High Court posted the appeal for hearing on that date after it was mentioned before Justice Nitin Sambre on Thursday by Khan's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde who requested an urgent hearing.Interestingly, during the mentioning, Maneshinde also requested the Court to hear the matter through video conference stating the Senior Counsel who would be arguing as lead counsel in the matter has made such a request.This could mean that Khan has engaged a lawyer outside Mumbai for appearing on behalf of him in the High Court.Though the request for video conference hearing was turned down by the Court, speculations are now rife on who would appear for Khan.While Maneshinde appeared for Khan before the Magistrate court, Senior Counsel Amit Desai was the lead counsel before the Sessions Court along with Maneshinde.

Training his guns again on Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik on Thursday claimed the officer was specifically brought in to the agency by the central government after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput last year. Malik also alleged that Rajput's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty was implicated in a "fake case" by the NCB.
