According to a report in TOI, the accused has written “Recently in the case of Aryan Khan, it has come to the light of all the courts concerned, the manner in which the Zonal Director of NCB is capable of manufacturing and manipulating the records. Even the present case is one where due to personal enmity, he has registered the case by way of creating false and fabricated evidences.”

Zaid Rana has alleged that false statements of him and three others were present in the chargesheet that was submitted in October.

According to Zaid, the flat where they lived in Oshiwara belonged to Sameer Wankhede’s family. Due to a minor dispute between the tenant and his parents, Wankhede had created the drugs case, Zaid said in this bail plea.

NCB has been directed to submit a reply to the bail plea by the special NDPS court judge and the matter has been deferred to Saturday for the reply.
