After the release of the Jawan trailer, Sameer Wankhede pens a cryptic post saying: A recent cryptic message was written by Sameer Wankhede in the midst of the trailer for Shah Rukh Khan’s film Jawan going viral on the internet.
In addition to the high-octane action, larger-than-life visual effects, and the swagger and charm of Shah Rukh Khan, the film is being praised for Lady Thalaivi Nayanthara and the antagonist Vijay Sethupathi, who both played roles in the film. Deepika Padukone, who plays the role of SRK’s lucky mascot, has also appeared in the film in a cameo capacity. On the other hand, the viral one-liner from the Atlee directorial seems to have failed to resonate with Wankhede, and this seems to be the case. After the line “Bete ko haath lagane se pehle baap se baat kar (Talk to the dad before going after his son)” became viral, the former NCB officer sent out a tweet in which he responded to the statement.
After Shah Rukh Khan‘s Jaan dialogue gained widespread attention, Sameer Wankhide posted a cryptic tweet about it.
I have licked the fire and danced in the ashes of every bridge I ever burned. I fear no hell
from you.
-Nicole Lyons
A quote that always inspires me !@ABPNews @news24tvchannel @RoflGandhi_— Sameer Wankhede (@swankhede_IRS) August 31, 2023
After some internet users began to make comparisons between this incident and the case of Aryan Khan, Wankhede took to his Twitter account and commented, “I have licked the fire and danced in the ashes of every bridge I have destroyed. You do not put me in any kind of fear. -Nicole Lyons [and] A quotation that never fails to motivate me! For the benefit of those who are unaware, Aryan Khan was taken into custody by the NCB on October 3, 2021, in the wake of the purported drug seizure that occurred on board the cruise ship Cordelia here.
Wankhede served as the head of the NCB during that time. Three weeks later, the high court decided to release him on bond because the anti-drug agency was unable to provide evidence to back up its accusations against him. Later on, the CBI stated that the Mumbai zone of the NCB obtained information in October 2021 regarding the consumption and possession of narcotic drugs by various individuals on the cruise ship, and that some NCB officers planned to get payments from the accused in exchange for letting them off the hook. This allegation was made in the context of the CBI’s claim that the Mumbai zone of the NCB received the information.
On May 11, in response to a complaint from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issued arrest warrants for Wankhede and four other individuals on charges of alleged criminal conspiracy and threat of extortion. These charges were in addition to provisions pertaining to bribery under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
