The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) began an investigation on Monday about its Mumbai regional director Sameer Wankhede’s experience with actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan.
After being arrested in a drug attack, he participated in accusations of extortion of 25 Crore rupees. People familiar with the matter said that the vigilance investigation was led by the NCB North District Deputy Director (DDG), and Gyaneshwar Singh rushed to Mumbai to investigate the allegations made by one of the agency’s own witnesses in a drug case.
The independent witness Prabhakar Sail also claimed in an affidavit that investigators asked him to sign a blank paper.
“We have started a vigilance investigation based on the public affidavit and the report received from our southwestern DDG (Mutha Ashok Jain),” said Gyaneshwar Singh, who is also the agency’s chief vigilance officer.
When asked if Wankhede will continue to lead the investigation during the investigation, Singh said: “It is too early to say anything. We have just begun. Let us investigate these allegations first.” Wankhede arrived in Delhi on Monday night and denied it. These allegations.
The development occurred on the day when the Mumbai court rejected the NCB’s request to dismiss Sail’s affidavit. Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik accused Wankhede of forging his personal documents. The Indian Revenue Agency officials in the 2008 batch denied this allegation.

Wankhede stated that 13 grams of cocaine, 5 grams of mephedrone, 21 grams of Charas, 22 ecstasy pills (ecstasy) and 133,000 rupees in cash were recovered from the ship. Since then, 20 people have been arrested under various parts of the NDPS Act, including event management professionals in Delhi, Nigerian nationals and drug dealers in Mumbai. Investigators later visited Shah Rukh Khan’s home and called the actor Ananya Panday to ask her name after she appeared in Aryan’s WhatsApp conversation.
