With the attack and counter-attack between Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik and Narcotics Control Bureau Mumbai chief Sameer Wankhede going on, their family members chose to continue this battle on social media on Friday.
Nawab Malik tweeted on Friday morning that he would address a press conference at 10am. To the unknown, the Maharashtra minister has been regularly addressing press conferences against NCB and its functioning ever since Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has been arrested in the drugs case.
To this, Sameer Wankhede’s wife actor Kranti Redkar tweeted –
“Such fear! Uncle Nawab Malik thinks of Sameer Wankhede all the time. It’s just the morning and Nawab Malik starts tweeting. This is how fear should be. Power of one honest officer”.
Nawab Malik’s daughter Nilofer Malik Khan replied to Kranti Redkar and said, “Those who indulge in irregularities get scared. Stop trembling in fear that all wrongdoings are getting exposed. This will serve no purpose at all.”
In Friday’s press meet, Nawab Malik claimed Sameer Wankhede was 17 years old when his father Dnyandev Wankhede got a bar licence in Sameer Wankhede’s name. The minister alleged that the bar is still running and Sameer Wankhede hid the information from the government. “Getting a bar licence in the name of a minor is not legal,” Nawab Malik said.
Sameer Wankhede has already clarified on this issue, according to reports and said that the income from the property is shown in his income tax returns.
Adding allegations to the list, Nawab Malik further accused Sameer Wankhede of extortion, forging caste certificate and getting a government job on SC quota while being a Muslim. The Bombay high court will announce its verdict of Sameer Wabkhede’s father’s plea seeking an injunction on Nawab Malik on November 22.
