The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed a corruption case against Sameer Wankhede, the anti-narcotics officer who arrested Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan in the alleged drugs-on-cruise case two years ago.<\/p>\n
Mr Wankhede and others had allegedly demanded Rs 25 crore bribe for not framing Aryan Khan in the alleged drug bust, said officials.<\/p>\n
The premier investigating agency conducted searches across Mumbai, Delhi, Ranchi and Kanpur.<\/p>\n
Mr Wankhede was the Mumbai zonal chief of the Narcotics Control Bureau, or NCB, when he and others raided a cruise ship off the city’s coast in 2021.<\/p>\n
Aryan Khan, who spent four weeks in jail, was cleared of all charges by the anti-drugs agency in May 2022 due to “lack of sufficient evidence”.<\/p>\n
Earlier, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up by the anti-drugs agency claimed the probe led by Mr Wankhede had lapses.<\/p>\n
Mr Wankhede was transferred to the Directorate General of Taxpayer Services in Chennai in May last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
