A day after getting a clean chit from the Cast Scrutiny Committee, the former NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede filed a case of defamation and atrocities against the former cabinet minister of Maharashtra Nawab Malik.
In his FIR to Goregaon police, Sameer Wankhede said that the NCP leader Nawab Malik made false allegations against his family after he arrested Malik's son-in-law in a drug case.
Wankhede also alleged that Malik took advantage of Aryan Khan's arrest and made false allegations against him to malign his image in public.
The statement of Wankhede recorded by Goregaon police also mentions that, despite the Bombay High Court's order to Malik in a defamation suit filed by Wankhede's father, to not make a statement against the Wankhede family, Malik continued making allegations as he (Wankhede) belongs to the Schedule Cast.
