Not connected to incident, says owner of ship on which Mumbai rave party was busted

NCB Mumbai Director Sameer Wankhede said that eight persons including Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan and Arbaaz Merchant are currently being questioned

Amid the biggest crackdown on a rave party onboard a cruise ship off Mumbai, the Cordelia Cruises on Sunday said that they are in no way connected to the party and shifted the blame to the Delhi-based organisers of the event.

“I wish to express that Cordelia Cruises is in no way, directly or indirectly, connected to this incident,” Jurgen Bailom, president and CEO of Cordelia Cruises said.

According to him, 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,” Bailom said.

He said the 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,” he said.
