In a letter, an NCB employee stated that according to “The NCP’s 60-year-old leader announced this morning that he had received a letter from an unnamed NCB official who had been with the agency for two years.
New Delhi and Mumbai This morning, Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik escalated his attack on anti-drug agency officer Sameer Wankhede, who is in charge of the drugs-on-cruise investigation in the Aryan Khan case. Mr Malik claimed the top NCB officer “did not follow proper rules in 26 cases” after an eyewitness claimed payoffs in the case. As a result, Mr Wankhede found himself at the centre of bribery allegations.
Mr Malik stated that the agency has been working with him for two years, citing a letter from an NCB employee “who has worked with the agency for two years.” “An NCB official, who shall remain anonymous, wrote to express his thoughts to me. I’m writing to request that this letter be included in the investigation into NCB’s Sameer Wankhede, and I’m forwarding it to the Director General Narcotics. We’d like to see this investigated.
His wife, on the other hand, reacted angrily and denied the allegations at a press conference. I’m not sure what to do with such letters… my husband is correct; we’re not going to put up with it. What is the purpose of going to trial? Someone should be held responsible for their slanderous remarks. Not the ‘crorepatis,’ but ordinary people like you and me. Officer Sameer can be relied on. Many people are calling for his resignation.”
Mutha Ashok Jain, Director General of Mumbai’s Narcotics Control Bureau, told news agency ANI about the letter: “I have already read the letter. We will do what needs to be done.
Mr. Malik previously stated in cryptic tweets that he had “received an envelope from an unnamed NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) official” and that he would soon reveal the details. “I received a letter from an unknown NCB official in an envelope. As soon as it’s ready, I’ll tweet about it. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.” According to what he said in his tweet,
In one of his posts, he made a reference to the 2013 Bollywood crime drama ‘Special 26,’ starring Akshay Kumar.
Following Aryan Khan’s arrest on drug trafficking charges on a cruise ship, the minister accused NCB and BJP leaders of collusion.
In an interview with NDTV on Monday, he was asked about his criticism of the NCB, and he said the agency is “hiding” behind the arrest of his son-in-law on drug charges, calling it a “personal vendetta.” “This is an unfounded accusation. They were hidden behind my son, who was on guard. He was detained by police in Wankhede, Mumbai, India, nine months ago (NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede). As I previously stated, I have complete faith in the Indian judicial system. There is no one who is exempt from the game’s rules. He was granted bail on the 27th of last month “In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Mr Malik stated.
