Sameer Wankhede and his wife Kranti

Kranti Redkar Wankhede, the wife of Mumbai NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede has written to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray asking for an appointment.

"I have sought time to meet him. I have not received a response so far. I am waiting for a reply," she said.

In the letter to CM Uddhav Thackeray, Sameer Wankhede's wife writes,

"We're being insulted every day. A woman's dignity is being toyed with in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's state. Had Balasaheb been here today, he wouldn't have liked it. He (Balasaheb) is not here today but you are.

"We see him in you, we trust you. I believe that you will not allow injustice to my family and me. As a Marathi, I look towards you with hopes of justice. I request you for justice."

The Narcotics Control Bureau's Deputy Director General-northern region, Gyaneshwar Singh, on Wednesday, said they have started recording the statement of the agency's Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede in connection with the departmental vigilance probe into allegations of extortion in the drugs-on-cruise case.

The NCB has ordered a vigilance inquiry into the claims made by a witness, Prabhakar Sail, of claims of an extortion bid of Rs 25 crore by some agency officials, including its Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede, to let off Aryan Khan.
