Sameer Wankhede, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)’s Mumbai Zonal director, has been in the limelight in connection with the Aryan Khan case and was recently accused by Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik of faking his caste certificate. NCSC, however, is examining the complaint of Sameer Wankhede that he was being implicated in a false case.
Wankhede had written to the commission alleging harassment following “disclosures” made by NCP Minister Nawab Malik. The minister had alleged that Wankhede was a Muslim and had secured an IRS job claiming to be from the Scheduled Caste. Malik had alleged that Wankhede’s father’s name was Dawood and not Dyandev. Wankhede has denied all allegations.
