NCB summons businessman in drugs case linked to Maharashtra minister's son-in-law
India Today
The NCB has summoned British national and businessman Karan Sajnani in connection with a drugs case against Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik's son-in-law Sameer Khan.
The NCB has summoned British national and businessman Karan Sajnani next week for questioning in connection with a drugs case registered against Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik's son-in-law Sameer Khan by its Mumbai office last year, officials said on Monday.
Sajnani has been asked to appear on March 2 before the special investigation team (SIT) headed by NCB Deputy Director General (operations) Sanjay Kumar Singh.
The businessman had recently moved the Bombay High Court to quash the NCB case against him, stating that he had no links with the said case.
The SIT based here was transferred and entrusted to probe six cases of the Mumbai NCB zonal office after allegations of extortion and alleged administrative irregularities were made out against the agency's former zonal head Sameer Wankhede and his team last year.
These allegations were made following the October 2020 Cordelia cruise drugs cases in which about 20 people were arrested by the NCB Mumbai including actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan.
