<p>Sameer Wankhede, an Indian Revenue Service officer, is currently being investigated by his agency for several alleged financial and procedural irregularities. Sameer was in the news last when he led the team that put Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s eldest son Aryan in jail for alleged possession of drugs while partying on a yacht. Aryan spent nearly a month in jail before being released on bail.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview with The Lallantop youtube channel, Sameer Wankhede was asked if he had any regrets about his conduct with Shah Rukh Khan and his son. He replied by calling it the “smallest case of his life”, claiming he was not familiar with Shah Rukh Khan’s popularity. He also mentioned that he had “no regrets” in life and if given a chance to revisit those times, he “would do it again”.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Sameer Wankhede addresses alleged chats between him and SRK</strong></h2>

<p>At the time when Aryan was in jail, Shah Rukh Khan and Sameer Wankhede reportedly spoke in texts. Those texts later leaked on social media. In them, Shah Rukh Khan pleaded with Sameer to have mercy on his son and not put him in jail. In one of the threads, Shah Rukh Khan wrote, “I beg you as a father...Please don’t let him be in that jail. He will break as a human being.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>When asked about these chats, he said, “I don’t want to talk about this man, but whenever you take action (in cases like this), and parents reach out to you, you feel bad about it. Especially when the person is a consumer, or if they have a drug habit. First and foremost, you feel bad, and you want them to go to rehab. Unless, of course, we’re talking about hardened gangsters.”</p>

<p>The interviewer countered, “Are you telling me that you are not aware of the stardom of Shah Rukh Khan?”</p>

After Aryan Khan trolled for partying in Mumbai nightclub, SRK fans say 'Leave the poor guy alone'

<p>Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, has been given a 'clean chit' in the Mumbai Drugs case.<br />
<br />
Aryan's case was under trial for seven months since the time he got arrested and subsequently released on bail.&nbsp;<br />
Aryan was granted bail on October 28, 2021 and released from Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail two days later.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
SRK's son and his friend Arbaaz Merchant along with Munmun Dhamecha were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on October 3 while they were on their way to attend a party at a cruise liner off the coast of Mumbai. The NCB had raided the party as well and had alleged they had found illegal drugs being circulated at the event.<br />
<br />
The NCB arrested these three - along with 20 others (who were arrested on different dates) - on October 3 after a raid conducted on the cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai.</p>

<p><strong>Here is a timeline of events:&nbsp;</strong><br />
<br />
-Aryan Khan was arrested on October 3 by NCB under section 27 of the NDPS (Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act). Soon after his arrest, the superstar's son was taken to JJ Hospital in Mumbai for medical evaluation. The arrest took place a day after NCB conducted raids on a cruise off the coast of Mumbai.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
- On October 7, a Mumbai court sent Aryan and seven other accused to 14-day judicial custody. On October 8, the court rejected the bail pleas of Aryan, Merchant and Dhamecha.<br />
<br />
- Aryan was lodged at the Arthur Road Jail and on October 20, his legal team moved the Bombay HC.<br />
<br />
- NCB summoned Bollywood actress Ananya Panday for questioning on October 21. Panday is actor Chunky Panday's daughter. She was questioned about her old whats app chats with Aryan, and the actress claimed she never used any narcotics. The same day, NCB visited her Mumbai residence to collect a few documents.<br />
<br />
- NCB also went to SRK's home Mannat to collect certain documents related to Aryan Khan's the same day but no raid was conducted during the visit. On the same day, a special court in Mumbai extended the judicial custody of Aryan and seven other accused in the case till October 30.</p>

<p><br />
- There was a dramatic twist to the case on October 24 when a witness named Prabhakar Sail added that a bribe of Rs 25 crore was being discussed in NCB related to the case. Sail was the driver of absconding alleged private investigator KP Gosavi, whose selfie with Aryan Khan went viral. He claimed that there was a demand for Rs 25 crore bribe to let off Aryan. Prabhakar told media persons that he had overheard Gosavi telling one Sam D’Souza over the phone after Aryan Khan was brought to the NCB office following the raid, a demand of Rs 25 crore bribe was made and it was eventually settled at Rs 18 crore as they &nbsp;had to "give Rs 8 crore to Sameer Wankhede.”<br />
<br />
- The extortion claims were indirectly refuted by the NCB which called Sail a witness in the case, and he was to only speak at court instead of making statements of social media as the matter was sub-judice. The statement, signed by NCB DDG Mutha Ashok, also added that Wankhede has categorically denied the allegations.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
- Sameer Wankhede, the NCB officer who conducted the raid and had arrested Aryan, requested the Mumbai police commissioner to ensure no legal action is falsely carried out against him based on “ulterior motives” following claims of extortion that were levied upon him.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
- A vigilance inquiry was ordered against Wankhede to probe into the extortion claims.<br />
<br />
- On October 27 Wankhede was questioned by a vigilance team headed by Deputy Director General (northern region) NCB, Gyaneshwar Singh in connection with the allegations of extortion.<br />
<br />
- On October 28, Wankhede moved to the Bombay High Court, seeking interim protection from arrest or any coercive action against him. The Maharashtra government the same day told the Bombay High Court that it will not arrest Wankhede without giving him prior notice of three working days, in connection with the allegations of extortion levelled against him.<br />
<br />
- The Bombay High Court also granted bail to Aryan Khan the same day, days before his father's birthday.<br />
<br />
- May 27, 2022, Aryan was given a clean chit on the case by the court.&nbsp;</p>

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was finally granted bail by the Bombay High Court on Thursday. The young student has spent over three weeks in jail after being arrested during a drug raid off Mumbai's coastline on October 2. His release from the jail is, quite understandably, a big relief for the family. A short while after Khan's bail, his younger sister, Suhana Khan, posted a collage of pictures from their childhood, saying, "I Love You."
