India's narcotics police has arrested Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan after hours of grilling in connection with a rave party it busted on board a cruise ship near Mumbai.

Acting on a tip-off, some 30 sleuths of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), disguised as passengers, boarded 'Empress' Saturday evening, which departed Mumbai for the neighbouring state of Goa late at night.

The ship was carrying mostly celebrities from Bollywood and the fashion industry. As soon as the rave party began, the NCB sleuths swing into action and caught red-handed those consuming drugs. "Aryan, his close friend Arbaaz, and eight others were soon detained with drugs.

The cruise ship was forced to return to the port of Mumbai. While two of the detainees were freed after questioning, Aryan and seven others have been arrested," an official said, as per reports. Aryan's father Shah Rukh, is considered one of the most successful Bollywood stars.

Popularly called the "King Khan", he has acted in over 80 films in a career spanning over 25 years.
