Aryan Khan case: Bombay HC pulls up Sameer Wankhede over leaked chats with Shah Rukh Khan; next hearing on June 8 | Hindi Movie News

Sameer Wankhede appeared before the CBI in Mumbai for the third day in an alleged extortion case related to Aryan Khan‘s drug case investigation. The former NCB chief was pulled up by the High Court for allegedly leaking the conversation between Shah Rukh Khan and him to the media despite the matter being sub judice.
In the alleged chats, SRK can be seen discussing the ongoing probe with Wankhede and requesting him to go easy on his son.

According to Wankhede’s lawyer, an honest officer is being harrassed under the pretext of an investigation despite his full cooperation and understanding in the matter. However, CBI claimed that Wankhede isn’t willing to inform us about certain aspects of the case and also alleged that he leaked his conversation with Shah Rukh Khan to the media. The central agency also demanded that Wankhede be not given any shield against the arrest by the court.

Wankhede and his aides are accused of demanding a Rs 25 crore bribe from superstar Shah Rukh Khan for not implicating his son Aryan in the Cordelia cruise ‘drug bust’ case, an official said.
Continuing the exemption from arrests, the High Court reportedly directed the CBI to file its response on June 3. Wankhede’s team, on the other hand, will have till June 7 to respond. The next hearing is on June 8.
