Nawab Malik shares school certificates of Sameer Wankhede and claimed NCB official threatened ex-wife

Mumbai: Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik on Thursday reiterated his claim that Sameer Wankhede, the Zonal Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), is a Muslim. In this instance, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader shared two school leaving certificates of the NCB official.

Further, the minister claimed that Wankhede had threatened his first wife, Dr Shabana Quraishi, trapped her cousin brother in a fake drugs case and threatened to do the same to the rest of her family if she spoke out against him.

The Wankhede family responded to Malik by supplying a 2021 computer-generated birth certificate of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), showing the name of the NCB official as Sameer and that of his parents as Zahedbano and Dnyandeo Kachruji Wankhede.

“Half info shared by people with evil thoughts to defame Sameer Wankhede. There was an error made. Later this was duly rectified by Mr. Dnyadev with all legal formalities and procedures in 1989. All the documents were accepted and verified by the school principal then and now too,” said the officer’s wife Kranti Redkar-Wankhede.

Also, a school leaving certificate from 1995, released by the Wankhede camp, names him Wankhede Sameer Dyandev and mentions his caste as ‘Mahar’.

Malik rejected these arguments, pointing out that the BMC had scanned all of the original old handwritten documents, and both schools’ SLCs were derived from those electronic records.

“Sameer Dawood Wankhede has been producing such fake certificates. I have submitted all the documents to the High Court, the Mumbai and Maharashtra Police chiefs, the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and demanded a detailed investigation,” Malik said.

He reiterated that Wankhede — an officer of the IRS-2008 batch — will lose his job, which he got on the basis of furnishing these supposed ‘fraudulent documents’, and more revelations would follow in order to uncover the truth.
