No recovery made from Aryan Khan.
No mention of conspiracy in the arrest memo.
Interpretation of WhatsApp chats from phone wrong and unjustified.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE CASE SO FAR
On October 21, a special court in Mumbai extended the judicial custody of Aryan and seven other accused in the case till October 30.
On October 20, the special court denied bail to Aryan, observing that ?on the face of it?, he was indulging in ?illicit drug activities on a regular basis?. His WhatsApp chats also showed, prima facie, that he was in touch with drug peddlers, the court noted.
