Sena leader moves Supreme Court against NCB official

Petition claims he has been targeting select film celebrities and a few models for the last two years

Shiv Sena leader Kishore Tiwari has approached the Supreme Court seeking judicial investigation and enquiry against an official at the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai accused of targeting select film celebrities and a few models for the last two years.

Petitioning the apex court under section 32 of the Constitution, Mr. Tiwari termed the arrest of Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan by the NCB during an alleged drug party on a cruise ship a violation of his fundamental right.

Claiming that Aryan had been in jail for the past 17 nights, because of failure of the Special Court to dispose of his bail application, most “unfortunate”, the petition said the case was a “classic example of abuse of power by one NCB officer who seems to be on vendetta against the film industry for denying entry to his wife who is a model & celebrity”.
