The Enforcement Directorate has formally charged the former Mumbai NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede on the basis of a corruption FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI). The probe against the former official began after speculations regarding his investigation into the drug seizure on the Cordelia cruise ship in October 2021.
Wankhede is accused of demanding Rs25 crore bribe from actor Shah Rukh Khan for not framing his son Aryan Khan in the 2021 drug case.
The financial crimes probe agency booked Wankhede, an Indian Revenue Service officer based CBI preliminary report filed in May last year.
Apart from this, Wankhede appealed to the Bombay High Court seeking quashing of the case and protection from any coercive action. More details are awaited in this story.
