The area director, Sameer Wankhede, when contacted, confirmed to ETimes, “Azam Shaikh is the boss of Regel who used to supply drugs to Anuj Keshwani, who also sold drugs to Kaizan who ran the Rhea-Showik union.” Wankhede also claimed that with this seizure the NCB has broken the entire chain.
The NCB has been investigating the alleged drugs angle after the Directorate of Enforcement, which was investigating financial irregularities in the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput, shared drug-related WhatsApp conversations. Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik were arrested by the NCB and later released on bail.
