Former Mumbai zonal director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Sameer Wankhede on Thursday filed an affidavit in a court in Maharashtra's Washim district, stating their family belongs to a Scheduled Caste community and has not embraced any other religion.

He submitted the affidavit in a defamation complaint filed by his cousin Sanjay Wankhede against former state minister Nawab Malik.
