Congress Member of parliament Shashi Tharoor has come to the support of Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood super star Shah Rukh Khan, against the online campaign to hound him after being arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau of India.

Tharoor write on Twitter:

I am not a fan of recreational drugs and haven’t tried myself but I am appalled by the ghoulish epicaricacy displayed by those which hunting iamsrk on his son’s arrest. Have some sympathy folks; the public glare is bad enough no need to gleefully rub a 23-year old’s face on it.

Tharoor had faced a media trial after his wife Sunanda Pushkar had died under mysterious circumstances.

Actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi said she thinks there was a ‘lapse of security’ on the cruise. “A family member of mine owns a cruise, so I've been on several cruises. I know that there are several rounds of security checks, metal detectors that one has to go through, their luggage is also checked. So, I don't understand how this breach of security even happened. Which is why I feel it's some kind of targeting, there's malice. It can't be just this bunch of 8 kids,” she said.

Actor Salman Khan and other members of his family including sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri have visited Shah Rukh Khan’s residence to offer support to the family on their son’s arrest in the drug case.
