Ajaz Khan on his arrest
Ajaz said that he was detained at the Mumbai airport without any warrant in 2021 after his name surfaced during the interrogation of drug peddler Shadab Batata. His blood test was negative and he only had the sleeping pill with him. Then in the same year, Ajaz was arrested by former Mumbai NCB bureau zonal director, Sameer Wankhede. The reality show alum said that he was taken into custody based on a fabricated story as the chargesheet filed against him had no evidence.
Talking about Sameer and the scrutiny he is under currently by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Ajaz said, “I begged in front of him. Today, what is happening to Wankhede, is all karma coming back. He is getting the exact treatment that he gave others.”
