MUMBAI: A criminal case has been registered against Narcotics Control Bureau’s former Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede following a complaint by the excise department for allegedly fraudulently securing a bar licence over two decades ago.
TOI was the first to report that Wankhede, though ineligible, had secured the permit for the bar in 1997, following which the excise department initiated a probe. Later, NCP minister Nawab Malik had complained to the CVC and state excise commissioner alleging it was wrong for Wankhede to hold the licence as he belongs to the All India Service.
