Mumbai: Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is probing drug cases of celebrities likely to approach the court seeking cancellation of bail to Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik’s son in law, Sameer Malik in drug case.

SIT led by Sanjay Singh will move to the court to cancel the bail granted to Sameer Malik, citing the reason for violations of bail conditions.
Sameer Malik was arrested in January 2021 in drug transaction cases. Now NCB found evidence of transactions of Rs. 20000 with an accused in another drug case and it has issued summons to him to appear before the agency. He was arrested in January over possession of drugs, he was granted bail in September 2021.
Mr Malik has alleged that Wankhede had been involved in extortion of Bollywood stars, forging a caste certificate, and arranging a "fake" case to entrap SRK.
He has also accused the agency of trying to discredit the image of Bollywood and Maharashtra.
Most recently he shared unverified WhatsApp chats between Mr Wankhede's sister and a known drug smuggler. Mr Malik said the conversation was proof of a "private army" led by the NCB officer that was trapping and extorting money from actors, NDTV reported.
