Sameer Wankhede, the Zonal Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), has rejected all allegations that Shah Rukh Khan and his son Aryan Khan are being targeted. He tells a leading newspaper, "We are not targeting anyone at all." We have nothing against Aryan Khan. Over 300 people have been detained in the previous ten months. There would only be 4 to 5 well-known individuals among them. How can you claim we're going after anyone? How can you say we're targeting anybody? The vast majority of those detained in the previous year have been hard-core drug dealers and criminals.”
