Sameer Wankhede had denied the allegations that he forged his caste certificate to get a job under a reserved category.
Amid a controversy surrounding the religion of Sameer Wankhede, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) leader Prakash Ambedkar on Saturday said the law is on the side of the Mumbai NCB chief, whom Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik had accused of hiding his "true religion-Islam" and securing a Central job by faking his caste certificate.
Mr Malik had alleged that Sameer Wankhede, an Internal Revenue Service officer, was born as Muslim but he forged his caste certificate to get a job under a reserved category.
Mr Wankhede, the Mumbai zonal director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), had denied the allegations.
"As per my information, the law is on the side of Sameer Wankhede. There is a similar case where the Supreme Court had ruled in the favour of a man from Kerala who wanted to disassociate himself from his parent's religion - Christianity.
