Nawab Malik said – Wankhede is misleading
After this statement of Wankhede, Nawab Malik has tweeted that either ANI (news agency) is quoting Sameer Wankhede in a wrong way or Sameer Wankhede is misleading the country. The senior NCP leader has said that on behalf of Sameer Wankhede, a petition was filed in the court saying that the allegations of extortion and corruption against him should be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Should be known Nawab Malik has expressed this reaction while retweeting the tweet of ANI in which Sameer Wankhede has given a statement regarding the removal of Aryan and Sameer Khan from the drugs case.
