Nawab Malik shares video of 'Cordelia cruise organiser' Kashif Khan, alleges Wankhede link

Continuing his tirade against NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, Maharashtra Minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik alleged that Kashif Khan, a senior executive of Fashion TV, was one of the organisers of the Goa-bound Cordelia cruise. He also shared a video of Kashif Khan, in which he can be seen dancing.

In a press conference, the Maharashtra Cabinet minister alleged that Kashif Khan was allowed to leave the cruise, claiming that he was a friend of Sameer Wankhede.

"Kashif Khan is notorious for distribution of drugs, for running sex and pornography racket and had posted the advertisement of Cordelia drug party on social media. Despite that the intelligent officers of the NCB did not call him for any inquiry or probe," he alleged.

"One NCB official even told me that whenever they tried to take action against Kashif Khan, Sameer Wankhede opposed them. It is a murky business and more such cases will surface in the coming days," the minister said.
