NCB to Bombay HC: Sameer Wankhede’s chats with Shah Rukh Khan don’t prove his integrity | Hindi Movie News – Times of India
The agency also added that Wankhede had no reason to continue such chats with Khan without informing his superiors, the federal agency said, adding that it appears many calls were also made by the now suspended officer to the actor.
Wankhede has shared his chats with the Bollywood actor to counter the allegations of extortion in an affidavit filed in the Bombay high court last month. Wankhede claimed the actor praised his integrity in the chats. He is facing a CBI probe for allegedly demanding Rs 25 crore from the King Khan for framing his son in the drug case.
Rebutting his claims, NCB filed a 92-page affidavit on June 17. According to Hindustan Times, the bureau said, “With respect to the chats between Wankhede and father of an accused (Shah Rukh Khan), it is submitted that the same cannot be said to any evidence regarding Wankhede’s integrity when the same have been kept in secret by him. Wankhede did not disclose the same (chats) to the SET (special enquiry team) or otherwise.
Further citing the chats, NCB said it appears Wankhede has “on many occasions made calls to Shah Rukh Khan”. “It cannot be said what transpired in those calls,” it added.
The federal agency has also reportedly disclosed in its affidavit that Wankhede, despite moving out of NCB, was in “regular touch” with a deputy legal advisor as he wanted to manipulate the outcome of the Aryan Khan probe and extract sensitive information regarding the case.
“…excerpt of the transcripts of the conversation dated June 2, 2022 between Wankhede and the DLA clearly reflects that Wankhede, who was not part of the investigation or prosecution in the instant case was in regular touch with the DLA (NCB) with the sole intention to manipulate the outcome of the investigation and to extract the sensitive information of the case with ulterior motive,” NCB said in the affidavit.
NCB has further said although the legal advisor’s opinion is not binding, “after considering the evidence and material facts of the case”, he opined that “the case is judicially weak”, pointing out many discrepancies in the recovery of documents.
Aryan Khan was arrested by NCB after they raided a luxury cruise off the Mumbai coast in 2021. The star son was granted bail after 25 days.
