Not letting NCB’s Zonal director Sameer Wankede to go off the hook, Maharashtra Minister and senior NCP leader Nawab Malik on Monday shared what he called a “proof” of the alleged involvement of the former’s sister-in-law, Harshada Dinanath Redkar, was involved in the drugs business.
Sharing the "proof" showing Redkar listed as "Respondent and Advocate" in a 2008 case registered under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, Malik tweeted: "Sameer Dawood Wankhede, is your sister-in-law Harshada Dinanath Redkar involved in the drug business ? You must answer because her case is pending before the Pune court".
In his response, Sameer Wankhede said: "Good work, dear friend, by circulating the name of a woman. In fact, when we issue a press release, we don’t share the names of women to protect their dignity".
In his retaliation, Wankhede said that he was not even in service when the case happened in January 2008. The NCB officer said he married Kranti Redkar in 2017.
On hern part, Kranti Redkar said: “My sister was and continues to be a victim in this case... I know you have a lot of questions regarding a tweet Nawab Malik has put on his Twitter handle. I would like to say that my sister was and continues to be a victim in this case. According to our legal team, it is not prudent to comment as the matter is sub-judice. My sister is going to tackle Malik's tweet legally. Sameer Wankhede has no relation to this case whatsoever".
