Sameer Wankhede has alleged Nawab Malik's accusations betrayed a grudge against him for arresting his son-in-law in another drugs case and was on a personal vendetta
Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik - at the centre of a bitter spat with NCB officer Sameer Wankhede that began over the Aryan Khan case and has since included extortion and forgery allegations - said today he would not make statements against the officer's father till December 9.
This was after a Bombay High Court division bench warned Mr Malik of an order if he continued to post what Mr Wankhede father - Dhyandev Wankhede - has called "malicious" material.
The NCP leader's assurance came after Dhyandev Wankhede approached the Bombay High Court to challenge an order issued on Monday by a single-judge bench of the same court.
In that order the court had said the minister was free to comment on and publish material about Mr Wankhede and his father, but only after a reasonable verification of facts.
