Former NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede is trying to show the alleged messages exchanged with film superstar Shah Rukh Khan as “certificate of integrity”, the CBI told the Bombay High Court on Monday during a hearing of a petition of the official who is accused of seeking ₹25 crore as bribe from the actor for not implicating his son Aryan in the Cordelia cruise 'drug bust' case.
A vacation bench of Justices Abhay Ahuja and M.M. Sathaye on Monday extended till June 8 the interim protection granted to Wankhede in the case. Last Friday, the court had directed the Central Bureau of Investigation not to take any coercive against him till May 22.
Citing the messages exchanged with Mr. Khan, Mr. Wankhede, in his petition, has claimed the film superstar had no grievance against him and had requested that he be kind to his son Aryan Khan.
