Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Malik claimed, "Yesterday, Chairman of the National Scheduled Castes Commission and BJP's leader Arun Haldar visited Sameer Wankhede's residence and gave him a clean chit. He should have conducted an investigation first and submitted a detailed report. We will complain about him to the President."

The minister further claimed that Haldar's visit raises numerous questions, "Why he was in so hurry to give him a clean chit and clear the allegations without any investigation and what was his motive behind it?"
Earlier, Malik, who has been levelling various allegations against Wankhede since the Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case came to the fore, accused him of using a fake birth certificate to secure a government job.
He had alleged that Wankhede was born a Muslim but he forged documents, including a caste certificate, to pass off as a Scheduled Caste (SC) person to get recruitment under quota after clearing the UPSC exams.
