Sameer Wankhede is a Muslim by birth, claims NCP leader Nawab Malik, NCB official's father hits back

Sameer Wankhede’s father Dnyandev Kachruji has strongly reacted to the NCP leader’s claim and said that he was playing very low-level politics. Wankhede’s father said that his name is Dnyandev and not Dawood as claimed by the NCP leader.

Mumbai: In an ugly twist to the Aryan Khan drugs case, NCP leader and Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik has claimed that Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede is a Muslim by birth and his real name is 'Sameer Dawood Wankhede'.

Malik has also released what he claimed was the birth certificate of Sameer Wankhede and alleged that the latter had forged documents.

The senior NCP leader also shared the contents of a letter received by him from an unnamed NCB official in connection with the probe against Sameer Wankhede.
