Mumbai: Ahead of Maharashtra assembly elections, Indian Revenue Services (IRS) officer Sameer Wankhede is set to join the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) faction. His process for his formal entry into the party is underway and he will officially join the Shiv Sena in next two days, sources say.

Wankhede, the former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director is likely to contest the 2024 assembly elections from Mumbai’s Dharavi constituency.

During the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, it was reported that Wankhede was keen on joining the BJP and contest from Wardha constituency in Maharashtra’s Vidharbha region, his hometown.

IRS Sameer Wankhede has always been in the news due to his strict actions and raids he conducted during his postings at Mumbai Customs and NCB. In 2022, he led Cordelia case where a cruise ship was raided and Aryan Khan the son of actor Shah Rukh Khan was arrested on charges of drug use and possession. All charges against Aryan Khan were dropped later, with Wankhede removed from the case after being accused of blackmail.

Wankhede is currently posted in Chennai.

This is a breaking news. More details will be updated.
