The CBI has seized his mobile phone and sent it to a forensic lab consisting of a team of experts specially formed for this case to retrieve the data. According to the media publication, K.P Gosavi, who was responsible for Khan’s arrest, appeared as an NCB official. He had later demanded Rs 25 crores as settlement for the case, which was settled at Rs 18 crore.
A part of the FIR read, “KP Gosavi was allowed to be present in the company of accused persons and even allowed to come to the NCB office after the raid which is against the norms/or an independent witness. In this manner, KP Gosavi took the freedom and clicked selfies and recorded the voice note of an accused. It was this position that allowed KP Gosavi and his aide Sanvile D'Souza amongst others to enter into the conspiracy to extort an amount of Rs. 25 crores from the family members of the alleged 'accused', Aryan Khan by threatening them of the accusation of offences of possession of Narcotics substances. This amount was finally settled for Rs. 18 Crores. A token amount of Rs. 50 Lakhs as bribe money was also taken by KP Gosavi and his aide Sanvile D'Souza but later a part of this amount of Rs. 50 Lakhs bribe money was returned back by them.”
As per the media publication, Wankhede has been booked under Section 7, 7A, and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, and Sections 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and 388 (extortion by threat) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
