Nawab Malik claims ‘man with beard’ supplied drugs to Goan peddlers, linked to Goan politician, was present on cruise ship

MUMBAI: In a startling disclosure, Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik has alleged that a ‘man with a beard’ supplied a huge quantity of drugs to Goan peddlers in the past and was linked to a Goan politician who was in the news for his drug links.

Malik alleged the same ‘bearded man’ was also present at the Mumbai to Goa cruise ship party, but was not questioned or touched by the Narcotics Control Bureau.

Speaking to media persons, Malik said: “A lot of drugs supplied to Goa were controlled by the “man with the beard”, who was present at the Cordelia cruise party.”

The minister also claimed that a member of an international drugs mafia was present on the same cruise, but was not touched by the NCB.

“There are some of videos of the party in which the person, sporting a beard, can been seen. I am told he was in Tihar Jail (Delhi) and in a Rajasthan jail in the past. The NCB’s Delhi team should check the CCTV cameras of the cruise. How come a few people were arrested and the international level drugs mafia (member) is moving scot-free? the NCP spokesperson asked.

Malik also said that if Wankhede’s birth certificate, which he had posted on social media, turns out to be false, then “he will resign from his post and retire as a politician”.

“If my claims are true, then Sameer Wankhede should at least apologize to me and my family. He will lose his job for sure,” the minister said.

Malik claimed he was giving “clues” to top officials of the NCB who needed to carry out a probe into this matter.

“They should find out who are the friends of Sameer Wankhede and how he is connected with drug dealer Sam D’Souza. As per my information, Kiran Gosavi had moved some Rs 50 lakh cash to his flat and he later gave another bag to Sam D’Souza. These are suspicious movements, he claimed. Read More Here
