One notable moment in the conversation was when Maniesh asked the CM about his childhood aspirations, wondering if he had ever dreamt of becoming a Chief Minister or if he was inspired by the Bollywood movie “Nayak,” where a common man rises to the position of Chief Minister. The CM said that, “Film film hai, reality reality hai aur kuch bhi nahi (while films may inspire, reality is reality and nothing else). His journey stemmed from grassroots involvement, both socially and politically. He highlighted his dedication to hard work and focused determination, emphasizing that success comes through diligent effort and commitment to one’s goals.

Maniesh further elaborated on why he posed such a question, drawing parallels between reel and real life. He likened the proactive approach of Anil Kapoor’s character in “Nayak” to the CM’s hands-on approach to governance. Maniesh commended the CM’s hands-on approach, such as personally investigating the water-logging sites in Mumbai, which led to significant improvements. The CM’s willingness to engage directly with the community resonated with Maniesh, emphasizing the importance of grassroots leadership in effecting positive change.

The conversation also touched upon pressing issues facing Mumbai, such as the state of its roads. While discussing, Maniesh asked the CM when the city will become pothole-free. Responding to the question, the CM said, “Pehle mai CM nahi tha. Tab BMC mai kaun kaam dekhta tha aapko pata hai. Ab jab main CM ban gaya tab main commissioner ko bulaya. Har baarish mai logo ko gaddha ka saamna karna padta hai, bahut face karna padta hai. Yeh 10-15 saal main, ye jo repair work har baarish main karte hai baarish se pehle, kitne kharch hue, bole Rs 3500 cr (I was not the CM earlier. Everyone know who looked after the work in BMC. After I became a CM, I called the commissioner and asked him, ‘Every monsoon people have to face potholes. How much has been spent in the last 10-15 years for repair work on the roads before monsoon?’ He said Rs 3500 cr”.

Maniesh was shocked by the cost and pointed out that the roads were no better, despite the investment.To this, the CM added, “Yehi toh daal mai kaala tha, black main white main black, ye sab chaalu tha. Maine unka dhandha bandh kard diya. 700-800 kms ke road concrete ke ho jaayenge, toh inka har saal ka woh band. Logo ko jo milna hai suvidha unko milni chahiye, iske upar mai kaam kar raha hu.

The CM further went on to promise that, “Agle 2-2.5 years mai Mumbai complete pothole free hojayegi. 100 percent.” He acknowledged the disruption caused by the roadworks across the city for infrastructure improvements and sssured residents that these temporary inconveniences are necessary for the city’s development and will lead to long-term benefits from the new projects.

Amidst the serious discussions, Maniesh humorously inquired about the “CM of the house,” to which Shinde playfully responded that his wife held that title.

A 2008-batch IRS officer, Wankhede, who then headed the NCB Mumbai zone, had led a team of officers to raid the ship off the Mumbai coast on the night of October 2, 2021. The NCB had claimed to have seized 13 gm of cocaine, 5 gm of mephedrone, 21 gm of marijuana, 22 pills of MDMA and Rs 1.33 lakh cash in the raid, and arrested 17 people, including Aryan.

Aryan was released on bail by the Bombay High Court — 26 days after the raid. Eventually, another NCB team, which investigated the matter, dropped his name from the chargesheet, citing insufficient evidence. Wankhede was later accused of “shoddy investigation”.

“We have registered an FIR against Sameer Wankhede, the then Zonal Director of NCB (Mumbai Zone Unit); Vishwa Vijay Singh, then Superintendent (NCB); Ashish Ranjan, then Intelligence Officer of Mumbai Zonal Unit (NCB); K P Gosavi and Sanvile D’Souza (alleged witness) and other unknown persons,” a CBI spokesperson said on Friday.

“It has been alleged that the three officials of NCB Mumbai Zone, in order to obtain undue advantage from the persons/others in the case no 94/2021…, earlier registered and investigated under the supervision of Wankhede, had entered into criminal conspiracy with others and allegedly obtained undue advantage in the form of bribes from the alleged accused….”

“It has also been alleged that the accused persons entered into conspiracy in order to extort an amount of around Rs 25 crore from the family members of the alleged accused… by threatening them of the accusation of offences of possession of narcotics substances as per the alleged directions of Wankhede being the supervisory officer. A token amount of Rs 50 lakh as bribe was allegedly obtained in furtherance of this conspiracy…,” the spokesperson said.

The CBI conducted searches on Friday at 29 locations across Mumbai, Delhi, Ranchi, Lucknow, Chennai and Guwahati, which led to recovery of incriminating material, sources said.

Wankhede and others were booked under Sections 7, 7A, and 12 of Prevention of Corruption Act and Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 388 (extortion by threat of accusation of an offence) of the Indian Penal Code, the CBI said.

When contacted by The Reporter, Wankhede, who is currently posted in the office of Director General of Taxpayers’ Services (DGTS) in Chennai, refused to comment.

Last week, the NCB terminated the services of Vishwa Vijay Singh, who was also a member of the ship raid team, in connection with a separate case in which he was suspended in April 2022. Singh had also led a team of officers to Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat in connection with the Cordelia probe.

The case against Wankhede and others was registered on the complaint from NCB, Delhi that had conducted an inquiry into the alleged wrongdoings of NCB officers in the Cordelia drugs bust case and other cases.

After the allegations of irregularities, including using witnesses with prior crime records, emerged against Wankhede and other officers, a NCB Special Investigation Team (SIT) carried out an internal inquiry.

The SIT, which last May dropped all charges against Aryan and five others in the Cordelia case, had recorded in an internal note that the probe team headed by Wankhede may have tried to “somehow implicate” Aryan.

The SIT’s internal report said: “It is strange to note that in spite of clear cut denial by Arbaaz (Merchant) – Khan’s friend from whom small amount of charas was seized – regarding involvement of Aryan in procurement or possession of drugs, the Investigating Officer started looking at WhatsApp chats of Aryan without even formally seizing his mobile phone. It appears the IO was motivated to somehow implicate Aryan Khan in the drug case.”

The NCB dropped Aryan and five others from its chargesheet on the basis of “lack of sufficient evidence” and “shortcomings” in the probe — from no video of searches, dodgy witnesses and improper seizure of phones to no medical test for those apprehended.

NCB Director-General S N Pradhan had then told reporters, “There were shortcomings in the investigations. There was no corroborative physical evidence to support the allegations.”

The case had also triggered a long-running spat between then Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik and Wankhede over allegations that the NCB’s action was an alleged attempt at extortion — a charge that the latter denied.

Sources alleged that Wankhede was allowed a free hand to deal with his cases in the way he liked. His immediate superior in Mumbai, Deputy Director General Mutha Ashok Jain, proceeded on leave the day the raid was carried out. In fact, until the next day, even the NCB headquarters in Delhi was not aware of the evidence Wankhede’s team had collected.

Once it became clear that no drugs were found on Aryan and questions were raised on the investigation, a senior officer from Delhi was sent to Mumbai to supervise the case. But Wankhede continued to push the envelope, the sources alleged, giving the example of how an NCB team reached Shah Rukh’s bungalow on October 21, 2021 in an ostensible “raid”.

Sources said Wankhede had sought permission to search the actor’s premises, but was refused. “So he prepared summons for recovery of some documents from Mannat and sent a team inside to serve the same. The media had been informed beforehand about an impending ‘raid’. It was finally a call from Delhi that stopped the team from going inside Shah Rukh’s house,” an officer said. #iamsrk #ShahrukhKhan #AryanKhan #CBI #Maharashtra #Mumbai #SameerWankhede
