The alleged pleas of Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan to NCB officer Sameer Wankhede after the former’s son was arrested in the drug case have surfaced on the internet.

The WhatsApp chats between the Bollywood celebrity and the former zonal director of NCB Mumbai, Wankhede, which date back to 2021, were acquired by an Indian news agency. The screenshots of the conversation were submitted in court on Friday, in the latter’s defence against his petition seeking the quashing of the CBI FIR, in an alleged bribery case.

It is pertinent to mention that Aryan Khan was arrested from a cruise party on October 3, 2021, and remained in a Mumbai jail for a few weeks before getting released on bail later the same month. He was exonerated from the case last year after the special investigation team (SIT) failed to find evidence of any wrongdoing against him.

The team found irregularities against Wankhede and his team, in the conduct of the drugs-on-cruise raids and violations under the Central Civil Services (CCS) Rules. Moreover, the CBI also claimed that the NCB team from Mumbai wanted to extort INR25 crore from Khan in order to not book his son in the case.

Wankhede had denied the allegations.
