Was there as witness, will seek protection: BJP worker seen taking Arbaaz Merchantt to NCB office

I am a BJP worker and accompanied NCB on the raid as a witness, Manish Bhanushali said in response to allegations levelled by NCP leader Nawab Malik.

Hours after Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik alleged that the man seen taking Arbaaz Merchantt to the Narcotics Control Bureau's Mumbai office was a BJP worker, the man caught in the eye of the storm spoke exclusively to India Today, responding to the allegations against him.

"I am a BJP worker," a candid Manish Bhanushali told India Today on camera. Earlier today, social media were flooded with photos of him posing with leaders of BJP leaders, hinting at BJP's involvement in the raids.
