New Delhi: In a recent twist on superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s drug case, one of the witnesses has claimed collusion between the Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) zonal officer Sameer Wankhede and KP Gosavi -- the alleged private investigator, who tipped off NCB and whose selfie with Aryan Khan went viral. The witness is KP Gosavi’s driver Prabhakar Sail. According to the driver Sameer Wankhede demanded  whopping Rs 8 crore fromShah Rukh Khan to release his son in the drugs case. Mr Wankhede has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, and has said he would give "a fitting reply".

According to the NDTV, In an affidavit filed by Prabhakar Sail, the personal bodyguard to KP Gosavi, he claimed that he was present in a car and heard KP Gosavi speak to one Sam D'Souza of an 18 crore deal, of which 8 crore was to be paid to Sameer Wankhede. He further claimed that he had himself received the cash from KP Gosavi that had to be handed over to Sam D'Souza.

“The man -- who is the first of the nine witnesses the agency named in a press release on October 6 -- said Mr Gosavi has gone missing and he feared for his life and liberty, which was why he filed the affidavit. A lookout notice has been issued against KP Gosavi,” reported NDTV.
