ANI posted a video in which Sameer tells the press, \u201cIn Mumbai, especially in Northern or Eastern Mumbai, we need to create awareness in public about the kind of drugs that exist and the rise in drug consumption in the city. A camp was organised here to talk to parents, and I’m very happy that I came here to talk about the legal provisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about his defamation case against The Ba***ds of Bollywood and if an attempt was being made to tone down this issue, he replied, \u201cI don\u2019t want to comment on this. All I\u2019m going to say is, satyameva jayate (truth alone triumphs).\u201d Incidentally, a character from the web series, which Sameer alleged was based on him, also says the words \u2018satyameva jayate\u2019.<\/p>\n

For the unversed, Sameer had filed a case against Aryan, Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment (owned by Shah Rukh Khan<\/a> and Gauri Khan) over the recently released web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. On Friday, the Delhi High Court heard the defamation suit and said, \u201cYour plaint is not maintainable. I am rejecting your plaint. Had your case been that you were defamed at various places, including Delhi, and that maximum damage occurred here, we would have still considered it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sameer sought \u20b92 crore in damages, which he proposed to donate to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital, alleging that the series is \u2018false, malicious, and defamatory\u2019. The suit also highlights a scene where, after the character<\/a>, allegedly based on him, says \u2018satyameva jayate\u2019 and makes an obscene gesture. He also claimed that the series was \u2018deliberately conceptualised to malign\u2019 him when cases involving him and Aryan were pending in courts.<\/p>\n

For the unversed, Sameer Wankhede was the officer who had arrested Aryan Khan in a drug case in 2021 off the coast of Mumbai. Investigation had later given Aryan a clean chit in the case. The Ba***ds of Bollywood is Aryan’s directorial debut and was released on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IRS officer and former NCB Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede spoke to the press on Saturday to talk…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[4196,93,61,60,270,34700,34701,4195],"class_list":["post-47283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-aryan-khan","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-sameer-wankhed","tag-sameer-wankhede-drugs","tag-the-bads-of-bollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
