Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik Paying Price For Unmasking BJP: Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut

Nawab Malik was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in February in connection with a money laundering probe linked to the activities of gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his aides.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday congratulated NCP leader Nawab Malik for "exposing" the farce behind the 'drugs on cruise' case involving Aryan Khan, son Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
Talking to reporters in Kolhapur, Mr Raut said Nawab Malik is paying the price for exposing the farce behind the case and the real face of the BJP.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday gave a clean chit to Aryan Khan in the 'drugs on cruise' case, in which he was arrested and spent 22 days in jail. NCB officials said Aryan and five others were not named in the agency's chargesheet due to "lack of sufficient evidence". Following this, the government has ordered action against Mr Wankhede for his alleged "shoddy" work while probing the case.
Mr Malik, a Maharashtra minister, had launched a veritable campaign against the then NCB officer Sameer Wankhede, accusing him of implicating Aryan Khan in a false case to extort money from his father Shah Rukh Khan.
