NCP leader Nawab Malik who held several press conferences against Wankhede had even alleged that because of lobbying by BJP leaders, Wankhede was not transferred from NCB.
On the request of Sameer Wankhede the probe of Aryan Khan case was given to senior officials of the NCB.
As soon as the Wankhede’s tenure at NCB ended, the matter started trending on social media, some requesting the home ministry to give him another term.
Earlier, during the probe in Aryan Khan case, when Wankhede was visiting his mother’s grave he was followed by two people who later turned out to be cops.
