‘Attempts were made to silence me’: Nawab Malik targets Sameer Wankhede (VIDEO)
Nawab Malik accused the NCB's zonal director Sameer Wankhede of being a Muslim by birth as his father had converted.
New Delhi: Following the denial of religious allegations held against the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) director Sameer Wankhede, Nawab Malik, Maharashtra minister said that the officer did not convert his religion because he is a Muslim by birth, as his father had converted.
Nawab Malik, speaking to the media said, “Sameer Wankhede did not convert because he is a Muslim by birth, his father had converted. I stand by my point that he got his job by forging an SC certificate, he has snatched the rights of an SC candidate.”
“When I started (allegations against Sameer Wankhede), people I know told me to stop. They said that Shah Rukh Khan is being told that his son is trapped as he(Khan) speaks. My lawyer son was being brainwashed by other lawyers. He used to tell me to stop,” he added.
“Some people said that matters relating to drugs involve money, goons and I could lose my life. Attempts were made to silence me, but I had said that we’ll take this to a logical end. If someone says they’ll kill Nawab Malik, then I’ll die the day I have to,” stated Malik.
Arun Halder, the vice-chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes stated after holding the meeting with Wankhede on Saturday that he thinks Wankhede belongs to the Scheduled Caste.
“He has denied the allegation of any religious conversion,” said the official.
On Sunday, Wankhede met Arun Halder and handed over an application. “After listening to his complaint, I think he is from a Scheduled Caste. He has denied the allegation of any religious conversion,” said Halder.
Quoting Wankhede, he added, “He (Sameer Wankhede) has submitted all the certificates to me, he told me that he is from Scheduled Caste.”
In response to that, Malik said, “Halder ji, you are sitting on a constitutional post, keep the dignity of it.”

Wankhede’s letter to the Commission focussed on the alleged harassment, “I have been risking my life to do good work, but some people abused on the basis of caste and attacking my family, that is why I have come to the National Commission for Scheduled Castes.”
Earlier, Nawab Malik accused Wankhede that he got into a government job under the SC category by showing all forged documents and certificates. According to Malik, Wankhede is a Muslim.
The allegations made by Malik over Wankhede after the Mumbai cruise drug case have been denied by the latter.
