Sameer Wankhede reports to NCB Chief

Sameer Wankhede was summoned by NCB DG to New Delhi for a meeting in which he clarified his actions over the cruise drug seizure case involving Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan.

New Delhi: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB's) Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede on Tuesday gave a detailed report on the cruise drug seizure case to NCB chief SN Pradhan in New Delhi.

Sameer Wankhede was summoned by NCB DG to New Delhi to meet Pradhan in the afternoon and clarified his actions over the cruise drug seizure case involving Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan. Earlier, on Monday Wankhede said that he has come to Delhi for a meeting.

Officials privy to the development told ETV Bharat that a few NCB top brass are also exploring the possibility of handing over the case to another senior NCB official following the fact that a vigilance probe is going on against Sameer Wankhade. However, some officials opposed such movements as "such decision may go against the moral of NCB officials."

Meanwhile, a five-member vigilance team from the NCB is likely to quiz Wankhede in connection with the allegations of 'extortion' levelled against him in Mumbai on Wednesday. The vigilance team will be headed by NCB deputy director-general Gyaneshwar Singh.
