Sameer Wankhede's father files Rs 1.25 crore defamation suit against Nawab Malik

Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede's father, Dhyandev Kachruji Wankhede has filed a defamation suit against Maharashtra cabinet minister Nawab Malik.

The father of the NCB officer has moved to the Bombay high court saying recent statements by the NCP leader have defamed his family.

According to the details, Wankhede's father has sought compensation of Rs 1.25 crore in the case. The suit will be heard on Monday.

The NCB had arrested Aryan Khan and at least 19 others in the drugs on cruise case on the intervening night of October 2-3 and Wankhede is facing a departmental vigilance probe after an independent witness, in this case, alleged an extortion bid by those involved in the investigation.
