At a meeting on 'Drug Trafficking and National Security’ in Gandhinagar, the home minister said flagged concern about increase in smuggling of heroin from the western coast of India.
NCB officer Gyaneshwar Singh had headed a probe that found irregularities in Wankhede's work on Aryan Khan case. Scheduled caste panel has sought report from MHA, amongst others.
An NCB official said that an SIT also flagged 'suspicious behaviour' of 7-8 officers of the federal anti-drug agency and dismissed the extortion bid angle in the case.
Trafficking of Afghan heroin to India via Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean has exponentially increased in last few years, says top NCB officer. Intelligence inputs led to interception.
Wankhede is former lead investigator in an alleged NCB drug bust over which Aryan Khan was arrested last year. His latest tweet comes two days after Khan was given clean chit in the case.
Khan, who had spent almost a month behind bars last October, was arrested with 19 others in the drugs-on-cruise case last year. All the accused, except two, are currently out on bail.
Prabhakar Sail (37), an independent witness of the Narcotics Control Bureau had alleged that he heard K.P Gosavi, another NCB witness, discuss a RS 25 Crore ‘pay-off deal’ after Khan was arrested.
According to excise department’s complaint, Wankhede, who had shot to fame during the Aryan Khan case, posed as an adult to obtain the license even though he was 17 at the time.
At meeting of Narco Coordination Centre, chaired by Amit Shah, Gujarat admits it's facing challenges. Karnataka & Maharashtra flag problem of foreigners overstaying their visa.
Official sources said Wankhede presented his version and official documents related to the raid, which took place in October last year at the international cruise terminal in Mumbai.
The claim that VB-GRAMG provides an employment guarantee is incorrect. The only guarantee is to 'empower' the Centre to allow partial implementation in notified areas alone.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
