Center directs action against Sameer Wankhede: Sameer Wankhede is again in trouble over the Aryan Khan case, Center directs action for the wrong investigation.

Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has been given a clean chit by the Narcotics Control Board (NCB) in the drugs-on-cruise case.

Meanwhile, the news agency quoted sources as saying that the Central Government has directed the Competent Authority to take action against former NCB officer Sameer Wankhede for wrongful investigation in the drugs-on-cruise case.

Sameer Wankhede’s case has come to the fore once again after Aryan Khan was given a clean chit by the Narcotics Control Bureau in the drugs-on-cruise case of October 2021.

The names of Aryan Khan and five others were dropped in the charge sheet filed by the anti-drug agency in connection with the case.

NCB officials, who filed the charge sheet in a Mumbai court, said Aryan Khan and five others were not named due to a lack of sufficient evidence.

Let us inform you that on November 5, 2021, NCB removed Mumbai Zonal Unit Sameer Wankhede from the case and transferred the investigation to its operations unit in Delhi.

Wankhede was facing a departmental vigilance inquiry after an independent witness in the case claimed extortion by those involved.

Sameer Wankhede led the NCB raid.

On October 2 last year, a high-profile drug party took place on the Cordelia cruise liner en route from Mumbai to Goa.

Small quantities of cocaine, mephedrone, charas, hydroponic weed, MDMA, and Rs 1,33,000 in cash were seized at the drugs party.

Eight people, including Aryan, were arrested by the NCB during the raid, while six others were let go. During the investigation, this number increased to 20.

Significantly, Aryan Khan had to stay in jail for 28 days in this whole case. On Friday, the DG of NCB said that no evidence has been found against six people including Aryan Khan in this case.

In the initial case, some lapses were found and mistakes were made by the first investigation team.
