In yet another sensational twist connected to the Aryan Khan arrest, a personal bodyguard employed by the NCB’s panch witness, K P Gosavi, on Sunday claimed that he had overheard Gosavi talk about extorting lakhs of rupees and paying a share of it to the Narcotics Control Bureau’s zonal head, Sameer Wankhede.Aryan, the son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was arrested by the NCB on October 3 on a drug consumption charge, although, according to all submissions made by the central agency so far, nothing was recovered from Aryan’s direct possession. Two others, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha, were also arrested and all of them are currently lodged in the Arthur Road Central Jail. Their bail plea is slated for hearing before the Bombay High Court on Tuesday.The person to make these latest allegations has been identified as Prabhakar Sail (40), who was working as Gosavi’s personal bodyguard. Gosavi himself is untreaceable ever since Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader addressed a press conference shortly after Aryan’s arrest, revealing that Gosavi has several criminal cases registered against him.In a video, Sail stated that he has been working for Gosavi since July 2021 and that Gosavi took him along on the day of the raid on the Cordelia cruise liner. Sail allegedly helped Gosavi and the NCB identify some of the detainees in the raid, whose pictures had been shared with him.In a notorised affidavit, Sail revealed that Gosavi was in a huddle with NCB officials at the agency’s office since early morning itself on October 2.“As seen in big cases, witnesses often are killed or taken away and I therefore want to state the truth,” Sail said in the affidavit.
