Anti-Drugs Agency "Hiding" Behind Son-In-Law's Case: Nawab Malik Hits Back
NDTV
Calling it a "fight against a wrongdoing", Nawab Malik said Sameer Wankhede has "taken charge of the NCB to extort money".
Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik told NDTV today that the anti-drugs agency Narcotics Control Bureau is "hiding" behind the case of his son-in-law who was arrested in a drugs case, portraying his criticism of the agency as a case of "personal vendetta".
"This allegation is baseless. They were shielding behind the case of my son-in-law. Nine months ago, he was arrested by Wankhede (NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede). I said I have full trust in the Indian judiciary. Nobody is above the law. On 27th of the last month, he was granted bail," Mr Malik told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
Calling it a "fight against a wrongdoing", Mr Malik said Wankhede has "taken charge of the NCB to extort money".
"More than thousands of crores have been extorted from the Mumbai city. Definitely wrongdoings are happening," added the senior leader of Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party, who along with Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut, is leading the charge against the drugs control agency.
