Nawab Malik's tweet comes a day after Sameer Wankhede wrote to Mumbai Police and sought protection from legal action fearing "being framed" with "ulterior motives"
Sameer Wankhede, the Narcotics Bureau officer leading investigations into the drugs case involving Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, hit back Monday at Nationalist Congress Party leader and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik over the latter's allegations of forgery.
Mr Malik, who has been spearheading criticism of the anti-drugs agency and its investigation into Aryan Khan and others connected with Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case, this morning tweeted a photo of a document related to Mr Wankhede's birth and claimed, "the forgery began from here".
According to NCB sources Mr Wankhede, who is set to question young actor Ananya Panday today (also in connection with the drugs-on-cruise case), has slammed the "shoddy" comment.
Agency sources quoted him as saying: "I have come to know about a recent tweet by Nawab Malik regarding caste certificate. This is a shoddy attempt to bring in things that are unrelated to (the drugs case). My mother was Muslim... (why) does he want to bring my dead mother into this?".
