Mumbai: Giving a new twist to the high-profile drug bust case involving Shah Rukh Khan's 23-year-old son Aryan Khan, a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) witness lodged a complaint alleging pay-off against NCB's senior officials Sameer Wankhede and KP Gosavii. Earlier, Gosavi's selfie with Aryan Khan, which goes viral, has put many questions against the present officers handling the case.

In the complaint, Prabhakar Salil claims that he heard a conversation between KP Gosavi and Sam D'Souza about settling the case for Rs. 18 crores and additionally Rs. 8 crores to be given to NCB's Sameer Wankhede. Notably, Salil claims to be the personal bodyguard of KP Gosavi.

Salil, in his complaint, added that he had seen Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Daldani talking with Gosavi. He said that Gosavi asked him to collect 50 lakhs from a location and he even collected the bags filled with cash and handed them over to Gosavi; however, the bag contained only Rs. 38 lakhs, NDTV report said.

Claiming about life threats from the NCB officials, Salil said, "The NCB officials will kill me like Gosavi."

Notably, earlier, Salil alleged that the Gosavi had gone missing.

However, denying all the allegations against the top officials, the NCB said that all the claims are baseless and that it's a conspiracy to tarnish the agency's reputation.

Later, NCB added, "If the senior officials had taken money than why till now Aryan Khan is behind the bars, he should be under the open sky."

Notably, on October 2, the NCB detained Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, Munmun Dhamecha, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Gomit Chopra, Nupur Satija, and Vikrant Chhokar from an alleged rave party on a cruise. Currently, they are in judicial custody following denial of bail by Mumbai Court. The Bombay High Court has scheduled to hear the bail plea on October 26.
