Sameer Wankhede's wife, Kranti Redkar Wankhede

Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, who is probing the drug case involving Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, reached the NCB office in the national capital on Tuesday.

While speaking to reporters on Monday, Wankhede said, "I have not been summoned. I have come here for a different purpose. All the allegations against me are baseless."

Kranti Redkar Wankhede, Sameer Wankhede's wife held a presser on Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik sharing a letter claiming fraud within Narcotics Control Bureau. She said such letters have no merit.

"My husband is not wrong, we will not tolerate this. Why should we go to court? Those levelling allegations against us should go to court. We are not 'crorepatis', we are simple people. Sameer is an honest officer. Many people wish that he should be removed," Kranti Wankhede, an actor, said.

Earlier on Monday, Wankhede had in a special court said that he and his family were being targeted and are ready for a probe into allegations against him.

Two affidavits have been filed in the case -- one by NCB and another by Wankhede.
