Aryan Khan was released on bail by the Bombay High Court based on a few conditions. One, that Aryan cannot be in touch with any of the other accused, and two, that he will have to appear before the NCB office every Friday.
However, this condition was later laid off by the court after Aryan Khan filed a plea seeking modification in the bail conditions.
