CBI files corruption case against Sameer Wankhede 4 others over Rs.25 cr bribe demand in Cordelia Case
A new twist has emerged in Aryan Khan’s case. NCB witness reveals, he was asked to ‘sign on a blank paper’. Sources close to NCB reveal Sameer Wankhede loved invading Bollywood. It is said when you commit crime against somebody Karma hits back.
This is precisely what has happened to Sameer Wankhede for demanding Rs.25 cr bribe
from owners of Cordelia ship from which actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan was arrested in an alleged drug case. It is like “Jaise Karni Waisi Barni”. Karma never spares anyone. Unnecessarily innocent soul Aryan Khan had to face the ordeal for no fault of him.
As per Sources in the CBI they an FIR has been registered and they are conducting raids in 29 locations, including Delhi, Mumbai, Ranchi and Kanpur.
Sameer Wankhede loved invading Bollywood sources close to NCB reveal.
Sameer Wankhede, an IRS officer, headed the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai zone amid the Cordelia cruise drug bust case. He led a team of officers, including Vishwa Vijay Singh, to raid the Cordelia ship off the Mumbai coast on the night of October 2, 2021.
In the raid, the NCB claimed to have seized 13 grams of cocaine, five grams of mephedrone, 21 grams of marijuana, 22 pills of MDMA (ecstasy) and Rs 1.33 lakh in cash, following which they arrested 17 persons, including Aryan Khan.
According to CBI,.Wankhede was accused of doing “shoddy investigation” in the case.
Eventually, Aryan Khan was released on bail by the Bombay High Court on October 28.
Another NCB team that investigated the matter did not chargesheet him in the case, citing insufficient evidence.
Shah Rukh Khan’s old tweet has gone viral after raids against NCB officials by CBI. The tweet, which was posted earlier, reads, “There’s a new restaurant called Karma,. there is no menu. You get what you deserve.”
This tweet has resurfaced after an NCB officer linked to the raid on Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, was sacked over another case. Aryan Khan was arrested in connection with the Cordelia drugs case in 2021, which led to a lot of support from his fans on social media.
Last week, the NCB terminated the services of its superintendent Vishwa Vijay Singh who was a member of the team that raided the Cordelia cruise and arrested Aryan Khan. According to NCB officials, Singh was terminated in connection with another case in which he was placed under suspension in April 2022 and an inquiry was ordered. After taking into consideration the inquiry report’s findings, Singh was dismissed.
Singh also led a team of officers to Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat in connection with the probe. Later, facing allegations of irregularities in the raid on the ship, including using panchas (witnesses) with prior crime record, a vigilance inquiry was ordered against the NCB’s Mumbai team that was completed in November 2022. Based on the inquiry, departmental action was ordered against seven officers, whose identities were not revealed.
