The NCB zonal director, Sameer Wankhede, the man behind the high-profile cruise drug case is under the radar of a lot of controversies. From the moment, Sameer had busted the drug case, involving Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, he is garnering a lot of limelight in the media. Tagged as the 'super cop', Sameer is the man behind the investigation of the late actor, Sushant Singh Rajput's drug case.
In the past few weeks, Sameer has been facing a lot of hatred after the reports of him being a part of alleged bribery in Aryan Khan's case. Reports are rife that Sameer was reportedly involved in a Rs. 25 crores deal in Aryan Khan's case after one of NCB's independent witnesses accused him of taking Rs. 8 crores as bribery in the high profile cruise drug bust.
