In a shocking turn of events, Sameer Wankhede, the former director of the Mumbai Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), who led the high-profile drug bust case involving Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, has another trouble in his kitty, as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) registered a case against him. Wankhede has been accused of demanding a bribe of Rs 25 crore from the superstar in exchange for not framing Aryan Khan in a drug case in October 2021. “ED had registered the said ECIR in 2023. I reiterate that I have full faith in the Indian Judiciary,” said Sameer Wankhede after a money laundering case being registered against him. Aryan Khan was arrested in an alleged drug case, and later he was given a clean chit.
