(CBI) has summoned former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede asking him to appear before the agency in Mumbai on Thursday
In another development in the alleged bribery probe in the Aryan Khan drugs-on-cruise case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede asking him to appear before the agency in Mumbai on Thursday.
Earlier on Tuesday, CBI which had booked Wankhede for allegedly demanding Rs 25 crore as a bribe for not framing Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan in the drugs-on-cruise case, said that the deal was closed for Rs 18 crore adding that assets to Wankhade were not proportionate to his known sources of income.
According to the CBI FIR copy, the NCB team headed by Sameer Wankhede allowed people who were actually in possession of drugs and the supplier as well to go.
The FIR copy said Arbaaz Merchant had confessed of possession Charas to NCB but he was allowed to go.
Siddarth Shah who had allegedly supplied charas to Arbaaz Merchant was also allowed to walk free, the CBI FIR said adding that incriminating chats between the two were ignored.
The federal agency said the accused were brought in a private vehicle. The private vehicle belonged to KP Gosavi (independent witness). This was done to show the accused that Gosavi was an NCB employee, though he was not.
