Prabhakar Sail, 36, died of a heart attack at his home on Friday. He was said to be a key witness in the case linked to Aryan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan’s son. He allegedly had overheard a conversation in which a Rs. 25 crore was discussed for him.
Sail was the bodyguard of KP Gosavi, whose selfie with Aryan Khan had gone viral after a Goa-bound cruise ship was busted.
Sail has claimed in an affidavit that his employer Kiran P Gosavi had a conversation with one Sam D’Souza. “You put a bomb of 25 crores and let’s settle at 18 final, because we have to give 8 crores to Sameer Wankhede,” Gosavi told him, the affidavit read.
After spending several weeks in jail, Aryan Khan was granted bail in the high-profile drugs case last October. Sail also claimed that Gosavi met Khan’s lawyer, Pooja Dadlani, and struck a deal of taking Rs. 50 lakh in exchange for Aryan’s release.
