NCB officer Sameer Wankhede former wife, Dr Shabana Qureshi, has also been dragged into the mid of the ongoing row. Sameer Wankhede the NCB official who has been leading the investigation in the Aryan Khan case has been accused of extortion, illegal tapping and forgery of documents. It started when a key witness in the cruise ship controversy alleged he has involved in an extortion bid of Rs 25 crore.
Maharashtra NCP leader Nawab Malik today launched attacks against Wankhede, alleging he fraudulently obtained a birth and caste certificate to secure his government job. Malik also tweeted a picture from the officer's first wedding, where he and his ex-wife Dr Shabana Qureshi can be seen sitting during the wedding function. He has also released a document which is reportedly Wankhede's "Nikah Nama" or marriage certificate.
In a video, a maulana who claims to have solemnised Wankhede's marriage to Dr Quershi has alleged that the officer told them that he is a Muslim at the time of the wedding in 2006.
Wankhede had earlier revealed that his father is a Hindu and his mother, was a Muslim. He has denied allegations of fraud and said he is ready to face a probe.
"I want to make it clear that the issue I am exposing of Sameer Dawood Wankhede is not about his religion… he has obtained a caste certificate to get an IRS job and has deprived a deserving Scheduled Caste person of his future,” Malik said in a press conference.
As per officer Wankhede, he married Dr Qureshi in 2006 under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. His mother wished that his marriage be solemnised as per the Muslim customs. Wankhede and Qureshi divorced mutually under the law in 2016. Dr Qureshi has never made any public appearances with Sameer Wankhede.
In 2017, he married Kranti Redkar. She has denied allegations of religious conversion and confirmed they are both “born Hindus.”
