After Muchhad Paanwala’s arrest in Mumbai and the seizure of 200 kg of drugs, Maharashtra Minority Affairs and Skill Development Minister Nawab Malik’s son-in-law Sameer Khan has been allegedly called for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). Khan is the husband of NCP leader Nawab Malik’s daughter Nilofer.
There has been a Rs 20,000 transaction on Google Pay between Karan Sajnani and Sameer Khan, which NCB suspects was a payment for drugs procurement. Khan has been called to verify the same. He has been summoned by NCB for questioning in alleged connection with the seizure of 200 kg of drugs made last week from a British citizen Sajnani and Rahila Furniturewala.
Muchhad Paanwala, Mumbai’s famous paan seller at Kemps Corner, who was arrested by the NCB on Tuesday, has been sent to judicial custody by a magistrate court in Mumbai.
On Tuesday, NCB arrested Ramkumar Tiwari, one of the owners of the famous Muchhad Paanwala shop in Mumbai, in connection with a drugs case. He was found dealing in drugs including ganja, imported contraband like OG Kush (a strain of cannabis Indica), and curated marijuana, some of which had been sourced from the US.
One of those who have been arrested is a suspect in the drugs case being probed after the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June last year.
In a tweet, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya on Tuesday said that NCP Minister’s son-in-law Samir Khan is under the NCB scanner for his alleged involvement in a drug scam. “Nawab Malik Javab Do!,” said the BJP leader in a subsequent tweet.
