Official statement from the desk of Mr. Jurgen Bailom- CEO and President, Waterways Leisure Tourism Pvt Ltd.By means of this statement, I wish to express that Cordelia Cruises is in no way, directly or indirectly, connected to this incident. Cordelia Cruises had chartered its ship for a private event to a Delhi-based event management company.
Cordelia Cruises is extremely mindful of providing wholesome entertainment to families who choose to travel with us. This incident is contrarian and far from the culture that Cordelia Cruises represents. We, at Cordelia Cruises, condemn all acts such as these and will strictly refrain from letting our ship out for similar events in the future. Nonetheless, Cordelia Cruises is extending our full support and cooperating with the authorities. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) searched a cruise late on Saturday and seized drugs detaining eight people, including Aryan Khan the son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan. Aryan along with Arbaz Seth Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha have been remanded to NCB custody till October 4.
