Sameer Wankhede, NCB’s zonal director, visited Dubai and Maldives with his family during the Sushant Singh Rajput episode last year and did “settlements” with Bollywood people, alleged state minority minister Nawab Malik on Thursday, intensifying his attack on the anti-drug officer. Wankhede said he never visited Dubai and that he would sue the minister. Malik has been relentless in his attacks following Aryan Khan’s arrest.

Malik said the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer had extorted crores of rupees from Bollywood personalities in connivance with the BJP. “He has been making false cases against celebrities to extort money and some dealings have happened in Dubai and Maldives. He along with his family visited Dubai and Maldives during the investigation of Sushant Singh Rajput last year between September and December. There are pictures of his sister in Maldives which she has posted on her social media handle.” he said.
