Published

on

Sameer Wankhede, the former Zonal Director of the Mumbai Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), revealed that he and his wife have been receiving threats for the past four days. This comes after Wankhede was booked by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 25 crore to not implicate Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, in the drugs-on-cruise case.

Threats and social media abuse

Wankhede informed that he and his wife, Kranti Redkar, have been receiving threats and obscene messages on social media. He intends to write to the Mumbai Police Commissioner to request special security in response to these threats.

Cooperation with the CBI Investigation

Wankhede was questioned for the second consecutive day on Sunday regarding the bribery allegations. After his interrogation, he stated that he will continue to cooperate fully with the CBI’s investigation. He assured that he has provided answers to all the questions posed by the CBI.

Bribery allegations and violation of conduct rules

According to the CBI, the alleged bribe deal was for Rs 18 crore, and Wankhede’s assets were not proportionate to his known sources of income. Additionally, NCB officials claimed that Wankhede violated conduct rules by sharing conversations he had with Shah Rukh Khan regarding Aryan Khan’s arrest in the drugs-on-cruise case. They raised concerns about how an investigating officer could engage in such chats with the family of the accused without informing superiors or the vigilance team.

The NCB officials further alleged that Wankhede did not provide the phone he used to chat with Shah Rukh Khan, and he also attempted to intimidate a senior NCB official when the official took over the case.

Protection from arrest granted

Wankhede had approached the Bombay High Court to challenge the CBI’s actions against him. The court granted him protection from arrest until May 22.

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
