MUMBAI: Prabhakar Sail, NCB's witness in the Cordelia cruise drug case, died on Friday. According to his lawyer, Tushar Khandare, he died of a heart attack at his home in Chembur's Mahul area yesterday. As per reports, Prabhakar Sail's body will be taken to his residence in Andheri at 11 am today.
Prabhakar Sail's lawyer reportedly said that a few days back the Delhi Special Investigation Team (SIT) team had visited Mumbai and recorded Sail's statement.
The Cordelia Cruise Ship drugs case, in which Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was arrested in October 2021, is back in the headlines. Prabhakar Sail was NCB's Panch witness in the drugs on cruise ship case where Aryan was arrested with his friend Arbaaz Merchant last year in October.
After Aryan was arrested, he was sent to Arthur Road Jail where he was an inmate till October 30 with his friend Arbaaz Merchant. As per India Today, Prabhakar Sail's family did not 'suspect any foul play'.
Recently, the case was back in the headlines when the NCB had requested the Court to grant them 90 days to file a chargesheet in Aryan's case. However, the Court only granted them 60 more days to file a chargesheet. Initially, the NCB's deadline to file the chargesheet in Aryan Khan's case was April 2. However, the SIT team appealed to Mumbai Sessions Court to grant them an extension in the matter.
