Making further allegations against the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Nawab Malik said that during the rave party in Mumbai cruise ship, in which Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's Aryan Khan has been arrested, an international drug lord was present on the ship and Wankhede allegedly let the mafia off the hook.

Addressing a press conference, the Minister said, "The rave party was held when the Covid-19 protocols were in place. No permission was sought from the Maharashtra Police or state home department. The permission was granted by the Shipping Director."
