Actress Pooja Bhatt, who had expressed solidarity with Shah Rukh Khan after the superstar’s son Aryan Khan was arrested in connection with a drugs case, has been accused of putting Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) informer’s ‘life at risk’.
On Thursday, a journalist called out Pooja Bhatt for ‘naming’ the person in the viral selfie and wrote: “An informer can be with police/ED/CBI/NIA/NCB. & informer could be anyone. Passing information and helping busting of a racket is not crime. U are putting their life in danger by taking their names. Drug peddler might attack informer now. You can also help and be in raid.”
Reacting to the tweet, Bhatt tweeted, “I have not taken their name if you use your eyes to actually ‘see’ & re-read my tweet. Or is that too much to ask? Advise the said person to refrain from taking & then leaking such glorious ‘selfies’ next time as they go viral. Discretion is the better part of valour, is it not?”
Pooja Bhatt tweet comes after a selfie of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan with a bald man during his interrogation with the NCB went viral on social media. Later, the agency issued a clarification that “the man in this picture with Aryan Khan is not an officer or employee of NCB.”
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan along with others were arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau on October 3 after a raid on a cruise ship in Mumbai. Aryan was taken into the custody on charges of consumption, sale, and purchase of narcotic drugs, after a rave party was busted aboard a luxury cruise liner.
