In a tongue-in-cheek farewell tweet, Malik formally requested "all government agencies keep an eye on me and track my movement" while he is abroad. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) National Spokesperson has been in the limelight for carrying out an unprecedented 'in-depth investigation' against the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede on various issues.
Hello Everyone, this is to inform you that I am traveling to Dubai after taking all required permissions from our Central and State Governments
— Nawab Malik نواب ملک नवाब मलिक (@nawabmalikncp) November 19, 2021
I will be back in India on the 24th of November 2021.
Requesting all government agencies to keep an eye on me and track my movement
Among other things, the minister has gone hammer-and-tongs after the narcotics super-sleuth for allegedly producing fake documents to usurp a plum job in the Indian Revenue Service from the reserved category.
Through his series of media briefings since early October, Malik has also slammed Wankhede of questionable links, carrying out a "fraudulent" (farzi) raid on the luxury ship Cordelia Cruise on October 2, allegedly letting off certain select persons or his friends and specifically "targeting" film personalities like Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, to get maximum publicity with the little recovery of drugs.
Once, he had even accused Wankhede of going to the Maldives allegedly to finalise extortion deals with glamour world personalities, which the officer had vehemently denied.
Finally, the cornered Wankhede family moved the Bombay High Court with a defamation suit of Rs 1.25 crore and sought 'interim relief' to gag Malik's defamatory statements in public, which will be decided upon on November 22.
