On Monday, a Bombay High Court’s vacation bench of Justices Abhay Ahuja and Milind Sathaye heard a petition filed by Sameer Wankhede, the former zonal director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), seeking quashing of the FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Cordelia drugs bust bribery case.
Wankhede in his petition has alleged that he is being targeted even though he kept his seniors in the loop at every stage.
