Shah Rukh Khan Sameer Wankhede Chats: AMID the ongoing developments in the Aryan Khan case, former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer Sameer Wankhede claimed Friday that Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan contacted him when the latter's son was in jail in an alleged drug case. However, the case has been dropped, and Aryan Khan is out of custody.
According to news agency PTI, Wankhede has claimed in his petition that the superstar praised the officer’s "integrity" and pleaded with him to be kind to Aryan.
As per the transcript provided in the petition, in one of the messages, the actor said, "God bless you. I have to come personally whenever you say and give a hug to you. Let me please know whenever it’s convenient for you. Really I have always had the highest regard for your uprightness and now it has increased manifolds. Big respect. Love srk" "Please show some kindness my man. Love srk I can only plead and beg you as a father. Please," the superstar said in another chat, as per the petition.
Wankhede, in one of the conversations, said that Shah Rukh Khan wanted to be kind to Aryan Khan and said to be kind to "the child and look at him in a reformatory way," but the effort was "maligned by vested interest people."
The actor replied that his son was not part of that and that "You know his part is minuscule in it. All he needs is reformation…" Khan also said, as per the transcript, that he "went out of my way and, without even knowing them (those with vested interest) called and begged them not to involve my child in their politics."
On Friday, the Bombay High Court granted protection from any "coercive action" to Sameer Wankhede. The former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Zonal Director, Wankhede, had mentioned on Friday morning before the court his petition seeking no coercive action against him.
Wankhede, who piloted the famous Cordelia Cruise drug bust in which Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan and 19 others were arrested, has been accused of demanding a Rs 25 crore bribe from Shah Rukh Khan's family to let off Aryan in the case.
