The actor reached the prison located in Mumbai Central around 9 am and left at 9.35 am, the official said. The prison authorities checked the actor’s Aadhaar card and other documents before he entered the premises, officials said. Shah Rukh Khan met his son for about 15 to 20 minutes, a prison official said, adding that there was a glass fencing between them and they spoke on the intercom.

Four guards were present along with them during their conversation, he said. The actor was allowed to meet his son, as per the prison manual, like any other family member of a prisoner and no special treatment was given to him, the official said.
