A Delhi Court recently sought an action taken report from the Delhi Police on Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer Sameer Wankhede’s complaint seeking registration of First Information Report (FIR) against Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Deputy Director General Gyaneshwar Singh [Sameer Dnyandev Wankhede Vs. Gyaneshwar Singh].Additional Sessions Judge Devender Kumar Jangala issued notice to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, South West District for filing of the action taken report in respect of Wankhede’s complaint dating back to July 2023.The application for FIR was filed under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.Wankhede in his complaint has accused Singh, a senior officer of the Indian Police Service (IPS), of harassment and atrocities punishable under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities ) Act, 1989 during the enquiry related to the Cordelia drugs bust case in which Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan had been arrested.As per the complaint, Singh had allegedly humiliated Wankhede for being a member of scheduled caste and also threatened him that he will ensure that the IRS officer loses his job.In the application before the Patiala House Court, Wankhede said that the complaint was originally lodged with the Mumbai Police which later informed him that his complaint was transferred to Delhi Police for further action.Wankhede alleged that despite emails to Delhi Police for further action, no FIR was registered and thus he was compelled to approach the Court.Considering the submission, the Court issued notice to the Delhi Police and listed the case for further consideration on February 27. Advocates Anand Kumar, Aditya Giri Sadaf Imran and Hemant Kalra represented the complainant Sameer Wankhede.
