Nawab Malik on Sameer Wankhede: 'Does an honest officer wear clothes worth ₹10 crores'?

Intensifying his attack on NCB officer Sameer Wankhede, Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik on Tuesday accused the Narcotics Control Bureau zonal director of extorting crores and using uber expensive clothes beyond the reach of an honest and an upright officer.

On Wankhede, Malik claimed the officer wore a trouser worth a lakh, a shirt costing over Rs 70,000 and watches worth Rs 25-50 lakh.

“How can an honest and upright officer claim to afford such expensive clothes,” he said.

“He (Wankhede) extorted crores by wrongly framing people,” Malik said, adding the NCB official had a private army to do the job. Malik claimed that Wankhede implicated people in fake cases.

Malik also claimed that since the last 15 days, there are three containers with drugs lying at the JNPT. He questioned why no action has been taken by the Department of Revenue Intelligence on this.
