Aryan Khan reading religious books in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail: Jail authorities

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, who is currently lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail following his alleged involvement in a cruise ship drugs case, has been reading religious books in the prison.

According to the jail administration, Aryan Khan was anxious in the jail after his bail had been rejected. The jail authorities suggested him to read the library books. Following this, Khan was given books from the jail library. For the last two days, Aryan Khan has been reading a book written on Lord Ram and Mother Sita. Earlier, Khan had read a book called The Lion’s Gate.

As per the jail administration, if a prisoner wants, he can get a book of his choice from his relatives, but only religious books are allowed. Apart from this, if a prisoner leaves a book while leaving the jail, then it is also included in the library.
