Aryan Khan Case: Nawab Malik, Maharashtra minister, accused the NCB Mumbai Zonal Unit director Sameer Wankhede of plotting kidnap

Nawab Malik, Maharashtra minister, accused the NCB Mumbai Zonal Unit director Sameer Wankhede of being part of a larger plot to kidnap Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan.

Malik told during a press conference that the sensational drugs bust off the Goa-bound cruise was a case of kidnapping and ransom and not what it appeared to be. He claimed that Aryan did not purchase a ticket to the cruise party, but that he was brought there by Pratik Gaba and Amir Furniturewala.

Malik went on to say that Kamboj and Wankhede met outside Oshiwara graveyard on October 7, just a few days after Aryan was arrested in the case.

“After this, Wankhede panicked and complained to the police that they were being chased. They were lucky that the nearby CCTV was not working and we couldn’t get the feed,” Malik was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

In his latest allegation against Wankhede, Malik claimed that the NCB official and BJP leader Mohit Kamboj tried to kidnap Aryan and demand ransom. “Aryan Khan didn’t purchase the ticket for the cruise party…It’s a matter of kidnapping and ransom,” the Maharashtra Minister said, according to ANI.

Malik also stated that a plot was hatched by a group of people to lure people onboard the ship, including Aryan Khan, and then frame them in the drug case.

“Mohit Kamboj and Sameer Wankhede met outside Oshiwara graveyard on Oct 7. After which, Wankhede panicked and complained to the police that they were being chased,” he added. “They were lucky that the nearby CCTV was not working and we couldn’t get the feed.”

The Narcotics Control Bureau transferred six cases from Wankhede to a Special Investigation Team composed of officers from the operations branch at the NCB headquarters in New Delhi on Friday, including the alleged Cordelia drug bust case in which Aryan Khan was arrested.

Malik has levelled a barrage of serious allegations against Wankhede and the NCB over the last month. He questioned how the Aryan Khan case was handled and accused Wankhede of extorting millions of dollars.

Wankhede claims Malik is after him because he previously arrested the minister’s son-in-law, Sameer Khan, in a narcotics case. The minister has claimed on numerous occasions that the entire operation on the cruise ship on October 2, during which Aryan Khan was detained, was a “fake.”
