A team of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has busted a rave party on board a luxury cruise ship off the Mumbai coast and detained 8 to 10 people including Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan&rsquo;s son Aryan Khan for questioning in the case.</p>
<p>
Banned drugs such as cocaine, hashish, and MDMA have been seized from the ship.</p>

Acting on a tip-off, NCB officials led by zonal director Sameer Wankhede boarded the ship disguised as passengers on Saturday.</p>

The rave party began after the ship had left the coast and was out at sea. Following this, NCB officials present on the ship cracked down and detained a number of individuals who were seen openly consuming illegal drugs.</p>
<p>
NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede said seven to eight people have been detained after the raid on The Empress cruise ship which was inaugurated merely two weeks ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
&quot;So far no arrest has been made by us,&quot; Sameer Wankhede, NCB Zonal Director said while speaking to journalists.</p>
<p>
&quot;We have intercepted some persons. The probe is underway. Drugs have been recovered. We are investigating 8-10 persons,&quot; Mr Wankhede told&nbsp; reporters.</p>
<p>
&quot;I can&#39;t comment on it&quot;, added Mr Wankhede when asked, &quot;Was any celebrity present at the party?&quot;</p>
<p>
Drug smuggling has also been increasing on the western coast. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence had also seized close to 3,000 kg of heroin at Gujarat&#39;s Mundra port last month. Prior to this a big haul of heroin being smuggled in through the JNPT port in Mumbai was also seized.</p>
