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.
It is alleged that Wankhede sought a bribe from the owners of the Cordelia ship on which Aaryan Khan was arrested.
The agency raided 29 locations in Mumbai, Delhi, Ranchi (Jharkhand) and Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh).
Wankhede was the Mumbai zonal chief of the Narcotics Control Bureau, or NCB, when he and others raided the cruise ship off the city’s coast in 2021.
