According to reports, SRK's manager Pooja Dadlani paid the amount but it was returned to her after Aryan Khan was arrested on October 3. 

The Police have reportedly checked CCTV evidence which primarily suggested that SRK's manager Pooja Dadlani met KP Gosavi, Sam D'Souza to pay that amount.

A senior Mumbai police officer said the team is waiting for some documents and no inquiry report has been submitted yet.
