The investigation into Sameer Wankhede’s operations began after the vigilance wing of the NCB called upon the agency to probe allegations made by Prabhakar Sail, a bodyguard to KP Gosavi — the private investigator whose photograph with Aryan Khan went viral on social media following the 23-year-old’s arrest.

According to Prabhakar Said, Gosavi had demanded money from Shah Rukh Khan’s manager Pooja Dadlani, a portion of which was meant for Wankhede.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan spent Wednesday night in jail as his bail hearing is all set to continue on Thursday. Khan appealed for bail before the Bombay High Court after a special NDPS court denied his application.
