NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede says "We are not targetting anyone"

After Shah Rukh Khan's fans and many Bollywood celebs alleged that the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is targeting Aryan Khan and his family, the Zonal Director of the anti-narcotics agency released an official statement refuting the reports

Narcotics control bureau (NCB) Zonal Director, Sameer Wankhede has refuted all allegations that there is an effort to target Shah Rukh Khan.

Speaking to ETimes, he says, 

“We are not targeting anyone at all. We have nothing against him. We have arrested more than 300 people in the last 10 months. Out of those, at the most, there would be about 4 to 5 known people. How can you say that we are targeting anyone? Most of those arrested in the last one year are hard-core, drug related criminals.”

Wankhede also points out that the media coverage escalates only when some known person is caught on the wrong side of the law.

He points out that the NCB works towards eradicating the drug menace by arresting peddlers and suppliers all around the year.

Just before signing off, he reveals that as per the latest development the NCB is also questioning the event organiser about their activities and the frequency of such parties.

Aryan was detained along with 7 others from the party. 

The charges included consumption, sale and purchase of narcotic substances. 

After hours of interrogation, a medical test took place and 3 people including Khan were produced before the Esplanade Magistrate Court.

Now, as per recent reports, Aryan Khan is in trouble only for the consumption of drugs. 

He has been booked for consumption of charas. The punishment for the offence would be 1-year jail or a fine which may extend up to Rs 20,000. 

Famous lawyer Satish Maneshinde, who also handled Rhea Chakraborty’s case, has been trying his best to save Shah Rukh Khan’s son.
