After taking over the probe in Mumbai’s drug case, the SIT team visited the Cordelia cruise ship on which an alleged rave party was held on October 2. As per sources, the 15-member SIT team including DDG Sanjay Singh visited the Cordelia Cruise ship. Sameer Wankhede and other officials also accompanied the SIT to the ship docked at Mumbai International Cruise Terminal. During the visit, sources say that the team checked the CCTV cameras and recorded statements of 4-5 witnesses.
Meanwhile, the agency has already recorded the statement of the main witness Prabhakar Sail. The independent witness had alleged that NCB’s Sameer Wankhede and private detective KP Gosavi, along with Sam D’Souza had demanded money from Shah Rukh Khan for his son Aryan’s release in the drugs case.
Next, the NCB is going to interrogate KP Gosavi, who is currently lodged in a Pune jail in relation to a cheating case. Also, Shah Rukh Khan’s manager Pooja Dadlani will be interrogated in relation to the extortion angle of the case.
