Sameer Wankhede

Wankhede countered this by claiming that a drug peddler had approached his sister who is a lawyer but she declined as she didn't handle narcotics cases. He claimed that the peddler, Salman even tried to trap him and his family and lodged a fake police complaint earlier this year, but nothing came out of it.

Speaking to hordes of mediapersons, Dr. Quraishi -- the ex-father-in-law of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede -- said that the two families had "excellent relations" prior to his (Sameer's) wedding with his daughter. "The marriage took place before they were Muslims... Otherwise it would not have materialised... They were good Muslims, performing 'namaz' and 'Ramadan rozas' also," Dr. Quraishi asserted, dropping a bombshell.

The NCP leader released personal wedding photographs of Sameer Wankhede in a series of tweets. He captioned the photo as 'Photo of a Sweet Couple -Sameer Dawood Wankhede and Dr. Shabana Qureshi'. The pictures are of the NCB officer's first marriage that was performed on December 7, 2006, at 8 p.m. in Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri West.
