The Bombay High Court granted temporary relief to IRS officer Sameer Wankhede in the Sushant Singh Rajput drug case. Until April 10, no coercive measures will be implemented against Wankhede in response to the Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) notifications of anomalies in the investigation.

The NCB launched a preliminary investigation against Wankhede in connection with the drugs case that led to Rajput's death, as well as another involving the arrest of a Nigerian national for drug possession. These inquiries arose from anonymous accusations of irregularities in the investigations, reported PTI.
