TAB 190713 SRK ARYAN-1563006138615 — Is Aryan’s arrest a vendetta against Shah Rukh Khan? Amidst calls of a witch hunt from people like Congress leader and Kerala MP Shashi Tharoor and Hrithik Roshan’s ex-wife Sussanne Khan, NCB’s Zonal Director, Sameer Wankhede broke his silence and refuted such stories in a statement to ETimes, claiming neither Shah Rukh nor his family were being targeted. “We are not targeting anyone at all. We have nothing against him. We have arrested more than 300 people in the last 10 months. Out of those, at the most, there would be about 4 to 5 known people. How can you say that we are targeting anyone? Most of those arrested in the last one year are hard-core, drug related criminals,” he told the Indian daily. Image Credit: Instagram.com/iamsrk
