Bribery Case: Bombay HC Extends Relief To Officer Who Arrested Aryan Khan

The Bombay High Court on Monday extended the interim protection granted to former NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede till June 8 in Rs 25 Crore extortion case regarding the arrest of Aryan Khan in 2021.

Last Friday, the HC directed the Central Bureau of Investigation not to take any coercive action against the Indian Revenue Service officer till May 22.

The vacation bench of justices Abhay Ahuja and MM Sathaye extended Wankhede’s interim protection from any coercive action, such as arrest, while hearing his plea seeking quashing of the CBI’s FIR against him.

Also, the bench directed Wankhede to give an undertaking that he will face the media about the case, appear before the CBI as and when called, and also not to tamper with evidence.
