Mumbai, 7/6: The CBI has sought the Bombay High Court to recall its earlier order granting interim protection from arrest to NCB’s former Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede, saying it has a prima facie case against him on charges of extortion and bribery in connection with the arrest of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan following alleged seizure of drugs from a cruise ship.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) last month filed an FIR against Wankhede and four others for allegedly demanding Rs 25 crore bribe in return of not framing Aryan Khan in the drugs case. Wankhede had moved the high court seeking to quash the FIR and interim protection from any coercive action.
A vacation bench of the HC last month granted interim relief to Wankhede and directed him to cooperate with the investigation
