Sameer Wankhede, repatriated from NCB, did not get an extension

Sameer Wankhede, an NCB officer, has suffered a serious setback. He has now bid farewell to NCB because he has received no additional extension to remain in the department. The four-month extension granted to Wankhede in NCB came to an end on December 31, 2021.

After NCP politician and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik accused him of falsifying documents to gain a government job, lying about his religion, and arresting people in “bogus” drug cases, the IRS official found himself in the middle of a political tempest. All claims against Wankhede have been refuted. Wankhede was also accused by Malik of falsifying his caste certificate and other documents in order to get a job as an IRS officer through the SC quota after passing the UPSC exam. Wankhede is a Muslim by birth, according to Malik.

Sameer Wankhede, an IRS officer who rose to prominence during the investigation of drug cases in Mumbai. When he caught Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, he gained even more attention. It was previously expected that the central government would grant him another extension, but this was not possible.
