Wankhede hits back at Malik's 'Rs 70K shirts' claim

November 02, 2021 11:56

NCB officer Sameer Wankhede hit back at Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik after comments about expensive clothes - "shirts worth Rs 70,000" - and allegations of a WhatsApp chat link between his sister (a lawyer) and a now-jailed drug smuggler.

Wankhede said a drug peddler had approached his sister, Yasmeen Wankhede, for legal representation, but was told that she did not handle cases under the NDPS, or the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

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

The NCB officer slammed Malik for making "false allegations".

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