BJP leader Kirit Somaiya on Tuesday sought a response from Nationalist Congress Party (leader) and Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik after the latter's son-in-law was allegedly summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with a drugs case.

In a tweet, Somaiya said that NCP Minister's son-in-law Samir Khan is under the NCB scanner for his alleged involvement in a drug scam. "Navab Malik Javab Do!!" the BJP leader said in a subsequent tweet. 

According to reports, one Sameer Khan has been summoned by NCB for questioning in alleged connection with the seizure of 200 kg of drugs made last week from a British citizen and another person.

A Google Pay transaction of Rs 20,000 allegedly took place between Karan Sajnani and Sameer Khan, which the NCB suspects were payment for drugs. Khan was called to verify the same on Wednesday.
