Sameer Wankhede: My trip to Delhi was planned two months ago -Exclusive! – Times of India


Sameer Wankhede has said that attempts are being made to pressurise him to divert his attention from the case. He has filed an application in court stating that he and his family are under pressure and there is a threat to their lives too.

Wankhede has already denied corruption charges to higher authorities and has maintained that he has been working in the interest of the nation. He has also said that he is being attacked by political parties after the Aryan Khan case.

When asked about the sudden plan to go to Delhi he said, “My trip to Delhi was planned two months ago.”

This comes after reports stated that the NCB Deputy Director, South West Region Mutha Ashok Jain took strong cognisance of the allegations and sent Wankhede to the NCB headquarters, New Delhi for ‘suitable action’.

The inquiry will be conducted by Gyaneshwar Singh, the NCB deputy director general (DDG) of the northern region. Singh is also the chief vigilance officer (CVO) of the federal anti-narcotics agency.

“We have received the affidavit and a report from our DDG (south-west region) based in Mumbai and the NCB director general has taken cognisance of this report. He has marked it to the vigilance section for inquiry.

“We are a professional organisation and we are open for inquiry against any allegation against our staffers. The inquiry will be transparent and fair,” Gyaneshwar Singh told PTI.

Asked if Wankhede will continue to probe the cruise case till this inquiry goes on, Singh said the question was “premature and we will take a call as the inquiry progresses and evidence are gathered.”
