NCB officer let off international drug lord present on cruise: Nawab Malik

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan was arrested in the case on October 3.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik on Wednesday continued his attack on Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede, claiming the officer let off the hook an international drug lord, allegedly present at the party organised off the city coast on a cruise, and instead framed “certain individuals”.

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan was arrested in the case on October 3.

“According to my information, an international drug lord, who has a beard, was present at the party along with his girlfriend at the cruise. NCB was aware of his presence. This is a hint for the NCB that is probing allegations against Wankhede. We have videos of his (drug lord) presence at the cruise. He can be seen dancing with his girlfriend at the party, which was organised for a purpose that was achieved as a few people were framed and the drug lord was let off. If NCB is unable to find out the drug lord, Gyaneshwar Singh (deputy DG, NCB) can come to me, I will tell him his name and share pictures as well,” Malik told reporters.

Wankhede’s wife Kranti Redkar said Malik should produce the evidence before the court. “He (Nawab Malik) should prove all these allegations in the court of law; how much drugs was available with the guy he is talking about and how he was let off by my husband. If he has any proof then please produce them before court,” she said.
