Sameer Wankhede has been in the spotlight ever since the war on drugs has been waged by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). Most recently, Wankhede has been in news as the leading man on the case that concerns the arrest of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan in the drugs-on-cruise matter.
Before handling narcotics operations, the 2008 batch IRS officer Wankhede worked in the customs and service tax departments. In 2011, he headed the customs department at the Mumbai airport where he interrogated many celebrities. Aryan Khan’s case is not the first time when Wankhede has come face to face with Khan. In 2011, the Bollywood star was fined Rs 1.5 lakh at the airport for carrying excess luggage. It was Wankhede who had interrogated him at that time. The actor had arrived at Mumbai airport after a family vacation in Holland and London. During that time, Wankhede was the assistant commissioner of customs stationed at the airport. Interesting co-incidence?
