The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday has registered a money laundering case against Sameer Wankhede (former zonal director of Mumbai’s Narcotics Control Bureau).
In addition to Wankhede, 3 other NCB officers have been summoned for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation.
Enforcement Directorate stated that, “ED registered a case against former Mumbai NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede. ED has now started an investigation into the money laundering case against Sameer Wankhede. ED has also summoned three NCB officers for questioning.”
Last year, the CBI booked Wankhede for allegedly demanding Rs.25 crore as a bribe for not framing Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan in the drugs-on-crime case.
The agency stated that the deal was closed for Rs.18 crore, adding that Wankhade’s assets weren’t proportionate to his known sources of income.
Other corruption charges against Sameer Wankhede and other NCB officials were also in process. The FIR copy stated that he wasn’t able to justify expenses made during his foreign visit.
Wankhede has alleged that he was being punished for being a patriot.
Wankhede raided Cordelia Cruise and arrested actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, in an alleged drug case.
