NCB’s Sameer Wankhede has been tapping phones illegally, alleges Nawab Malik

Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik on Tuesday levelled a new set of allegations against Narcotics Control Bureau zonal chief Sameer Wankhede, citing a letter from an unidentified official of the agency, ANI reported.

Among other things, Malik alleged that Wankhede has been illegally intercepting mobile phones of some persons with the help of two people in Mumbai and Thane, PTI reported. Malik also claimed that Wankhede had sought call detail records of his family members from the police.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Malik claimed that a Narcotics Control Bureau official, who has been working with the agency for two years, had written to him about 26 cases in which Wankhede had not followed rules.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Maharashtra minister had posted photos of the purported letter on Twitter.

“As a responsible citizen I will be forwarding this letter to DG [director general] Narcotics [Control Bureau] requesting him to include this letter in the investigation being conducted on Sameer Wankhede,” Malik said in a tweet.

Here are the contents of the letter received by me from an unnamed NCB official.
