Man heading drug probe under scanner: Rs 25 crore pay off to free Aryan Khan?

Prabhakar Sail, the independent witness in the cruise drugs case, met a senior Mumbai Police official on Monday seeking protection, a day after he claimed that Rs 25 crore was demanded by an NCB official and other persons to let off Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan in the case.

However, a senior NCB official had denied the allegations, terming them as "completely false and malicious".

Meanwhile, the NCB has ordered a vigilance inquiry into the claims made by a witness in the cruise drugs case of an extortion bid of Rs 25 crore by some agency officials, including its Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede, and others.
