IRS officer Sameer Wankhede’s troubles just increased. After the CBI, now the ED has registered a money-laundering case against him. The former zonal director of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Sameer Wankhede, has been accused of demanding a Rs 25-crore bribe from actor Shah Rukh Khan, for not framing his son Aryan Khan in a drug case in October 2021.

Sources said ED may soon summon Wankhede for questioning in the case. However, Sameer Wankhede released a statement stating, “ED had registered the said ECIR in 2023. It is surprising that this ECIR is based on the CBI FIR which is already under question before the Bombay HC. Since the matter is subjudice, I don’t intend to comment anything further. I will give the appropriate reply in the court at the appropriate time. I reiterate that I have full faith in the Indian Judiciary. Satyamev Jayate,” said Wankhede in his statement.
