Along with KP Gosavi and his partner D’Souza, the CBI has implicated Sameer Wankhede, an IRS officer from the 2008 batch, V.V. Singh, a Superintendent with the NCB, and Ashish Ranjan, the former investigating officer in the Aryan Khan drugs case, as defendants in the case.
According to the CBI, Wankhede and others allegedly wanted a Rs 25 crore bribe in exchange for not implicating Aryan Khan in the narcotics bust case.
As per the CBI FIR, “Sameer Wankhede, as then Zonal Director of NCB and in his capacity as the immediate supervisory officer, directed to take KP Gosavi and Prabhakar Sail as independent witnesses in the proceedings against the accused and directed V.V. Singh to let KP Gosavi handle the accused while taking him to NCB office and thus allowing a free hand to KP Gosavi and others in order to create such a visual impression of KP Gosavi having custody of the accused and dragging him towards the NCB Mumbai office.”
