ED launches money laundering probe against Sameer Wankhede

Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday registered a case against former Mumbai Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede. ED has started an investigation into the money laundering case against Wankhede and has also summoned three NCB officers for questioning.

Last year, the CBI booked Wankhede for allegedly demanding ₹25 crore as a bribe for not framing Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan in the drugs-on-crime case. The agency said that the deal was closed for ₹18 crore, adding that Wankhade's assets were not proportionate to his known sources of income.
