New Delhi: A clash between Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede has been witnessed for past few days. Not long ago, Malik had alleged that Wankhede extorted money from the film industry persons in Maldives and Dubai.
“During COVID, the entire (film) industry was in Maldives… The officer and his family were also there. Sameer Wankhede has to explain about his visit to Dubai and Maldives. We are sure that this ‘ugahi’ (extortion) happened in Maldives and Dubai. I will give you photos soon,” the Nationalist Congress Party leader told reporters.

Malik also shared photos of Wankhede on Twitter and said, “Sameer Wankhede claims he never went to Dubai post joining the service. This photo has revealed the truth and exposed his lie. Sameer Wankhede was at Grand Hyatt Hotel in Dubai on December 10, 2020.”
Sameer Wankhede refuted all the claims of Malik.

Now in a recent tweet, Malik shared a photo of a document related to Mr Wankhede’s birth with caption, “the forgery began from here”.
As per the sources, the leading officer in the cruise ship case has slammed the allegation quoting, “I have come to know about a recent tweet by Nawab Malik regarding caste certificate. This is a shoddy attempt to bring in things that are unrelated to the drugs case. My mother was Muslim… why does he want to bring my dead mother into this?”

“To verify my caste and background anyone can visit my native place and verify my descent from my great-grandfather. But he should not spread this filth like this. I will fight all this legally and don’t want to comment too much on this out of court”, he reportedly added.
The fresh allegations comes a day after Mr Wankhede wrote to Mumbai Police, seeking protection from legal action fearing ‘being framed’ falsely with ‘ulterior motives’.
