He also submitted that he has verified the documents with BMC records and the schools where Sameer has studied. Mr Malik’s latest affidavit included Mr Wankhede’s school admission documents and primary school-leaving certificate, where he has been mentioned as ‘Muslim’.
We had discussed the hearing and documents presented by Mr Malik in detail in an earlier article. The Bombay High Court was scheduled to pass an interim order in this defamation case on November 22. Defamation suit against MalikĪfter these allegations, Mr Wankhede’s father had moved the Bombay High Court against Nawab Malik for allegedly defaming his family and sought Rs 1.25 crore in damages. Mr Malik claimed the real name of Sameer Wankhede’s father was Dawood Wankhede. Mr Malik claimed that Mr Wankhede’s father Dnyandev Wankhede was a Muslim, and so was Sameer Wankhede. Going a step ahead, Mr Malik had also accused Mr Wankhede of lying about his religion and getting a government job by manipulating his caste. The NCP leader had alleged that Mr Wankhede, along with other private individuals, was involved in an extortion racket using his credentials as NCB officer. Mr Malik, after the arrests in Aryan Khan case, had taken up the responsibility to expose the alleged malpractices by the NCB and Mr Wankhede. Mr Wankhede, who conducted the raid on Cordelia cruise ship off the Mumbai coast and arrested multiple individuals including superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, now faces a serious threat to his job and reputation as a whole. Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik dropped a new bombshell on Sunday, continuing his tirade against Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede. The Bombay HC observed that prima facie, it cannot be said that the allegations raised by Malik against Wankhede are totally false.
