Sanjay Raut Shares Video of Aryan Khan Talking to Gosavi In NCB Custody, Demands Police Action

Soon after the so-called ‘private detective’ KP Gosavi’s aide Prabhakar Sail alleged that he was forced to sign a blank panchnama (a record of witness testimony) by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)  in connection with the Mumbai drugs case, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut tweeted a purported video of Aryan Khan in NCB and claimed that all this (case) is an attempt to defame Maharashtra.

“Witness in Aryan Khan case made to sign on blank paper by NCB is shocking. Also, there are reports that there was a demand for huge money. CM Uddhav Thackeray said that these cases are made to defame Maharashtra. This seems to be coming true. Police should take suo moto cognizance”, he tweeted sharing the video.

In the 12-second video clip, Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan can be seen sitting beside KP Gosavi, one of the nine independent witnesses who is currently absconding.  In the footage, Aryan can also be seen talking to someone on his (Gosavi) phone.

Sameer Wankhede Slams NCP leader Nawab Malik

Earlier, Sameer Wankhede had strongly condemned the allegations of extortion brought against him by the NCP leader Nawab Malik. The NCP leader had that when all the Bollywood personalities were in the Maldives during the pandemic, Sameer Wankhede was also in the Maldives. Wankhede must clarify why he was in Maldives and Dubai.

While speaking to the media, Wankhede said that he went to the Maldives with his family after taking permission from the government.

“The word ‘extortion’ is a disgusting term. I did go to Maldives after taking competent authority’s permission. I went with my children and family after taking the government’s permission. If he calls that extortion, then this is not acceptable,” Wankhede said.

“During Covid, the entire (film) industry was in Maldives… Officer and his family were also there.  Sameer Wankhede has to explain about his visit to Dubai & Maldives. We are sure that this ‘ugahi’ happened in Maldives, Dubai; will give you photos soon,” Malik said earlier.

In a pointed rebuttal, Wankhede said, “Those are photos from Mumbai. I was in Mumbai. Sacchai ko koi cheez ki aanch nahi. Find out where I was, get data from the airport. Get everything verified through my passport and visa.”

“I’ve never been to Dubai, whatever time he’s stating that. There are mechanisms to check where a person is. So, it’s completely false. I’ve never been to Dubai with my sister – what he’s mentioning during the date and time. So, it’s false & completely condemnable,” he added.
