Sameer Wankhede has reacted to ED's money laundering case against him. Speaking to ETimes, the former NCB official said that he will 'give an appropriate reply in court at the appropriate time'. He added, "ED had registered the said ECIR in 2023. It is surprising that this ECIR is based on the CBI FIR, which is already under question before the Bombay HC. Since the matter is subjudice, I don't intend to comment further. I will give the appropriate reply to the court at the appropriate time. I reiterate that I have full faith in the Indian judiciary. Satyamev Jayate."
