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 reason that India hasn’t grown at the speed of South Korea, China or Vietnam is because the machinery of the government still holds on to the ‘commanding heights’.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
