In its detailed application seeking extension of 90 days to file their charge sheet in the Cordelia Cruise Ship Case against Aryan Khan and others,
the Special Investigations Team stated that many accused are not cooperating in the investigation.
It also cited corruption allegations against "witness" KP Gosavi, in Pune police's custody in a cheating case. The agency said that they are yet to record Gosavi's statement despite three attempts before the Pune court and are waiting for appropriate orders. Gosavi, whose selfie with Khan in
custody went viral and then Zonal Director of NCB Sameer Wankhede were accused of corruption by Gosavi's driver, another witness in the case.
The underlying purpose of this Application is to ensure fair, transparent, complete, proper and thorough investigation, in order to get to the roots of the matter and place clear picture of the roles played by the accused persons before the Hon'ble Court. Thus, allowing such Application becomes
necessary and expedient in the interest of justice." The agency further cited lack of cooperation from the 20 accused for the delay in investigation,including giving wrong passwords.
On Tuesday, the court adjourned the plea for hearing on Wednesday after Advocates Kushal Mor and Apoorv Srivastava for one of the two accused still in custody sought time to file a detailed reply. One of the two remaining accused in prison, alleged peddler Abdul Kadar Shaikh (30), told the court
his "mental, social and financial health" has suffered greatly due to the case."It is really difficult for me to cope with the situation. I'm the only earning member of my family. They(NCB) can seek extension for as long as they want, but let me get out of jail," Shaikh, in person, told the court."
