Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede's wife Kranti Redkar Wankhede on Tuesday alleged that the vested interests did not want her husband to work and "want him removed" from the post. "They do not want Sameer to work and block their daily income which is probably from drugs. That is why they want him removed," she told ANI. She dismissed allegations by NCP leader Nawab Malik, who is at loggerheads with Sameer Wankhede over the investigation of the drugs-on-cruise case. Kranti Wankhede also said that they were receiving "threatening calls".
