Sameer Wankhede who arrested Aryan Khan receives death threats, probe underway

Indian Revenue Service officer Sameer Wankhede has been hogging headlines yet again. The former NCB Zonal Director, who arrested Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, has now allegedly received a death threat. PTI reported quoting an official who informed that the death threat came from a ‘religious fanatic’ in Bangladesh.

According to the official, Wankhede received the death threat over phone earlier this week. The IRS officer is presently posted in Chennai.

Following the threat call, Sameer Wankhede dropped an email to Mumbai police commissioner as well as the Goregaon police station informing them about the matter.

Soon, a case was lodged at Goregaon police station, under the limits of which his permanent residence falls. The official further added that an investigation is underway.

Sameer Wankhede‘s history

Sameer Wankhede made news when he was heading the Narcotics Control Bureau’s Mumbai zone two years back. Around that time, the ex-NCB Zonal Director handled some high-profile incidents including the alleged drug seizure case involving Aryan Khan.

Wankhede landed into trouble after CBI registered a case against him and four others over bribery charges. The complaint was lodged against him for allegedly demanding Rs 25 crore bribe from superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He reportedly asked for the sum to help the actor’s son in the 2021 alleged drug seizure case.

Wankhede faced many charges during his tenure with NCB. He was then transferred and an internal inquiry was ordered against him over a few of his controversial cases.

Aryan Khan and the alleged drug case

On the other hand, Aryan Khan was given a clean chit along with five others among the 14 accused in the alleged drug case. The NCB’s move came in favour of the star kid due to ‘lack of sufficient evidence’.

Aryan Khan was arrested on 3 October, 2021 and was released on bail by the Bombay High Court at the end of the month.
