Cruise drugs case: Witness alleges NCB official demanded Rs 25 cr from Shah Rukh Khan to release Aryan; NCB denies claim

Published

MUMBAI, (PTI): An independent witness in the cruise drugs seizure case on Sunday claimed that an official of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and some other persons demanded Rs 25 crore from Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan to release his son Aryan Khan in the case.

Prabhakar Sail, a witness in the case, told media persons that NCB officials also asked him to sign nine to ten blank papers.

However, a senior NCB official denied the allegations, terming them as ”completely false and malicious”.

NCB’s zonal director Sameer Wankhede earlier this month led the agency’s ‘drug bust’ on a cruise ship following which Aryan Khan was arrested on October 3. He is currently lodged in the Arthur Road jail here.

Recently, the Pune police issued a lookout circular against K P Gosavi, another independent witness of the NCB in the cruise drugs case who used to offer people jobs abroad, in a 2018 cheating case.

On Sunday, Sail alleged that an official of the NCB, Gosavi and another person, named Sam D’Souza, had demanded Rs 25 crore from Shah Rukh Khan to release his son.

Sail, who is the personal bodyguard of Gosavi and accompanied him on the night of the raid, said after Aryan Khan was brought to the NCB office, Gosavi met D’Souza.

Sail claimed he heard Gosavi telling D’Souza over phone about a demand of Rs 25 crore and to settle at Rs 18 crore as they ”have to give Rs eight crore to Sameer Wankhede”.

The NCB, while stating that Wankhede has categorically denied the allegations, also said that as the matter is sub judice, Sail should have submitted his prayer to the court if he had anything to say.

Mumbai NCB’s Deputy Director General (DDG) Mutha Ashok Jain issued a statement saying that he came to know through social media that Sail is a witness in the case.

”As he (Sail) is a witness in the case and the case is before the honourable court and is sub judice, he needs to submit his prayer to the court rather than through social media if he has anything to say,” the statement said. In addition, there are certain vigilance-related allegations against certain persons in the affidavit, which are based on overhearing by Prabhakar Sail, it said.

”Zonal Director of Mumbai NCB Sameer Wankhede has categorically denied these allegations. As some of the contents of the affidavit are related to vigilance matter, we are hereby forwarding the affidavit to the Director General (DG) NCB and requesting him for further necessary action,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra minister and NCP spokesman Nawab Malik, who has repeatedly termed the cruise drugs bust case as ”fake”, said Sail’s claims were ”very serious” and demanded a probe into it by a Special Investigation Team (SIT).

Talking to reporters in Beed, Malik reiterated his allegation that Wankhede was involved in ”extortion and terrorising the Mumbai film industry”, and said he will meet the chief minister and home minister on Monday in Mumbai seeking a SIT probe into Sail’s claims.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in a tweet said, ”Witness in AryanKhan case made to sign on blank paper by NCB is shocking. Also there are reports that there was demnd of huge money. CM UddhavThackeray said that these cases are made to defame Maharashtra. This seems to be coming true. Police should take suo moto cognizance.”

Maharashtra Congress spokesman Atul Londhe said Sail’s allegation substantiated the party’s charge that central agencies were being against the opposition parties. He demanded that the Supreme Court take appropriate action against the misuse of agencies politically. (PTI)

NEW DELHI: Aaftab Poonawalla, the youth who killed his live-in girlfriend and cut up her body into 35 pieces had boasted to another woman whom he dated (while he was living with Shraddha Walkar) that he had great contacts in the underground drugs peddling network in Delhi and Mumbai and he could get or procure the best Malana Cream and pure Manali marijuana in the world at the best or cheapest possible rates.

Aftab had not only boasted that he consumed drugs, but also openly claimed that he was procuring drugs in larger quantities and then selling them to his friends at a decent margin. Due to this business, he was able to get “pure stuff” and also pay for his own consumption. The name and identify of the woman has been withheld upon her request and insistence.

According to media reports, Aftab Poonawalla, accepted that he killed his girlfriend Shraddha Walkar, during questioning while a polygraph test was conducted on him on Wednesday. He also took a narco-analysis test at a Rohini hospital on Thursday, as part of the ongoing investigation into the murder of Shraddha Walkar by the Delhi police.

According to sources, Aftab also admitted to dumping the body parts of Sharddha in the jungle after the murder and that he planned to kill her long back, in fact he conspired to kill her while in Mumbai itself, as he had begun to hate he. He claimed he wanted to be free and have sex with as many women as he wanted, without being committed or bound to any single woman.

According to model Ishika Borah, Aftab Poonawalla had even boasted to her about his drug connections and his ability to procure the best Malana Cream and Manali marijuana, but she had brushed aside his boastful rantings as those of an intoxicated or mad man.

aryan-khan-insta-pic

MUMBAI, (PTI): Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, on Friday, approached the Bombay High Court seeking modification of a condition imposed on him when he got bail in the drugs-on-cruise case.

Aryan’s application sought a waiver of the condition that he shall appear before the Narcotics Control Bureau’s (NCB) south Mumbai office every Friday to mark presence.

As the investigation has been now transferred to a Special Investigation Team of Delhi NCB, the condition that he appear at the Mumbai office could be relaxed said the plea.

The application also said that he has to be accompanied by police personnel every time he visits the NCB office here due to the large number of media persons waiting outside.

The application is likely to be heard by the high court next week, his lawyers said.

Aryan Khan was arrested by the NCB on October 3 on charges of alleged possession, consumption, and sale/purchase of drugs following a raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.

He was granted bail by the high court on October 28. The high court also imposed 14 conditions on him. He was asked, among other things, to appear before the NCB each Friday, not to leave Mumbai without informing the agency, and not to leave India without permission from the special NDPS court. (PTI)

Aryan Khan drugs case: Gosavi posed as NCB officer, planned to run away with money, had switched off phone for 3 hours

kiran-gosavi

MUMBAI: Kiran P Gosavi, the Narcotics Control Bureau panch witness (of the selfie fame) in the Aryan Khan drugs case, posed as an NCB official, when he first represented himself to Shahrukh Khan’s manager Pooja Dadlani, officials said.

However when the others including Sam D’Souza, Vijay Pagare and Sunil Patil were brought in the loop, it became clear that Gosavi was not part of the NCB team.

Further when his selfie with Aryan Khan went viral, the NCB issued a public clarification saying he was not part of the NCB team. This blew his false facade, prompting the others to get him to return the money.

Gosavi had made plans to go underground the same night with the Rs 50-lakh amount which he had received, but his cover was blown and all the other four persons involved in the deal – Sam D’Souza, Vijay Pagare, Sunil Patil, Prabhakar Sail and SRK’s manager and others began hounding Gosavi.

Gosavi had switched off his phone for 3 hours and was planning to run away and possibly leave the country, but his luck did not favor him and the others managed to track him down and ask him for the refund. Adding to Gosavi’s woes, the NCB top brass got irritated and angry with the selfie stunt and instructed the Mumbai Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede to shunt out Gosavi, keeping him at arms length.

Gosavi was trying to negotiate a deal with Wankhede and had initially planned to offer him Rs 5 crore for Aryan Khan’s release, but a rattled Wankhede stopped taking Gosavi’s calls after his bosses in New Delhi told him in no uncertain terms to keep away from Gosavi.

This was the icing on the cake for Gosavi who still tried to hold on to Rs 12 lakh, but was not successful.

aryan-khan-insta-pic

MUMBAI: Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan skipped the Narcotics Control Bureau summons for two days consequently citing bad health. He claimed he is suffering from fever and Covid-like symptoms. Aryan Khan’s Covid RT-PCR test results are expected tomorrow and his health is being monitored.

Similarly, SRK’s manager Pooja Dadlani also claimed she was unwell with fever and did not attend the NCB office.

So is Aryan Khan down with Covid? Things will be more clear after his test results are out.

Further, for the last few days the star kid seems to have lost his appetite and is hardly eating anything. Why this could be due to the fact, while in jail for 20 days he was only surviving on biscuits and water. Due to this, his appetite, metabolism and digestive system could have got disrupted resulting in zero appetite.

Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police’s Special Investigation Team, conducting a parallel investigation into the extortion allegations against NCB officials in the Aryan Khan drugs case, has asked for the CCTV footage of NCB’s south Mumbai offices.

Mumbai Police sources told a news channel that the process of formally and legally requisitioning the NCB to provide the footage ‘has begun’.

They added that footage from dates leading to the night of October 2 when Aryan Khan and other accused in the drugs case were brought to the NCB office in Ballard Estate has been sought through legal means.

“This is to check the activity and movement of Sam D’Souza, K P Gosawi and Manish Bhanushali inside the NCB office,” a police official privy to the development said.

Aryan Khan drugs case: Two female ex-Bigg Boss contestants paid Rs 5 lakh each, attended party at Hotel Lalit

kiran-gosavi-arrested

MUMBAI: Two former female Bigg Boss contestants had attended an overnight party at hotel The Lalit in suburban Mumbai, wherein Sunil Patil, Sam D’Souza and now-arrested Narcotics Control Bureau witness Kiran Gosavi were present, along with some politicians and a former Minister, said a source who had helped fix up the deal.

According to our source, the party was held this year and the girls were paid Rs 5 lakh per night for their services. One of the female Bigg Boss participants privately entertained the former Minister and the second was in the room of an influential businessman, close to an ex Police Commissioner.

Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik has claimed that Patil used to regularly organize parties at The Lalit, where call girls were invited to entertain the guests.

Addressing a press conference in Mumbai today, Malik alleged that there exists a connection between the present Zonal Director of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai unit and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders.

“We think there might have been some talks between Sameer Wankhede and BJP leaders,” Malik told media persons in Mumbai.

“Mohit Kamboj and Sameer Wankhede met outside Oshiwara graveyard on October 7. He was spotted by two cops from the Oshiwara police station who had gone there for some other work. Wankhede panicked and complained to the police that they were being chased. They were lucky that the CCTV cameras were not working so they were not caught in the footage,” Malik claimed.

“Vijay Pagare told me, they were staying in the Lalit Hotel for the last 7 months. Manish and Vilas Bhanushali, Sam D’Souza used to come there. Girls also used to come there, and drugs were consumed there and money was also exchanged there,” he said.

Pagare and Patil were in contact with several pimps who provided high class call girls and escorts for their parties, attended by politicians, police and government officials. It is not known if the women were used to honeytrap the officials and blackmail them later on.

MUMBAI: As more and more allegations surface and skeletons tumble out of the closets, it seems three key players in the Aryan Khan drugs bust case, hosted parties in 5-star hotels in and around Mumbai, where services of call girls, escorts and popular instagram influencers, charging Rs 7 to Rs 10 lakh per night were enlisted.

The three key players are Fashion TV India head Kashiff Khan, Sunil Patil and now-arrested Narcotics Control Bureau panch witness Kiran Gosavi. Khan is known for his flamboyant parties where society women are involved.

Names of two former female Bigg Boss contestants who attended these parties, have also surfaced.

While NCP leader Nawab Malik claimed that an attempt was made to lure Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Aslam Shaikh to the cruise party, BJP leader Mohit Bharatiya aka Mohit Khamboj alleged, “I’ve said earlier that a Maharashtra Minister who has relations with drug peddlers was involved in the cruise party. Now Nawab Malik himself confirmed that Aslam Shaikh has relations with Kashiff Khan and also that children of NCP leaders, ministers are in contact with drug peddlers.”

Aryan Khan drug case: Gosavi tried to honeytrap and frame key NCB officials

kiran-gosavi-aryan-khan-prabhakar-sail

MUMBAI: Now arrested NCB witness in the Aryan Khan drug case, Kiran Gosavi had tried to honeytrap and frame some key Mumbai Zone Narcotics Control Bureau officers, who were against him and wanted him away from the case.

According to a former drug accused, who is also running a high-profile call-girl business in Mumbai and Goa, two-days before Aryan Khan was arrested, Gosavi had “inquired about three high-profile Bollywood call girls and one very popular instagram influencer who charge in the range of Rs 5 to Rs 7 lakh per night”.

He told the former drug peddler that he wanted to oblige some senior NCB officials and would pay him after the deal was done.

However, the peddler-turned pimp flatly refused to give Gosavi any credit, as the women would have to be paid upfront for their services. He told Gosavi, who was known to him, that the full amount would have to be paid in advance in cash.

“It was then that Gosavi told me that he wanted to trap the NCB officials who were against his deep meddling in NCB cases. He wanted to secretly film the sex acts between the NCB officers and the women, to serve as a backup insurance against the officials who were not supporting him,” the peddler-turned pimp told this reporter.

Since Gosavi could not pay Rs 15 lakh upfront, the deal fell through, the pimp said.
