MUMBAI: Prabhakar Sail, an independent witness in the alleged drugs case involving Aryan Khan, said on Wednesday that he stood by his allegation of extortion demand against NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede and others, and nobody had tutored him.
Wankhede has already denied the allegation. Speaking to reporters here, Sail showed some chats on a mobile phone where K P Gosavi, another witness in the case, purportedly asked him to collect the extortion money from Haji Ali.

“I have narrated everything chronologically and nothing is made-up. Nobody is asking me to speak about this issue,” Sail said. “I don’t have any relations with any politician. I am a 40-year-old man and do not have a single case registered against me,” he said, denying allegations that he was going to get some quid-pro-quo for levelling the allegations.
Sail has also sent an application to Mumbai Police claiming that he had overheard Gosavi talking to one Sam D’Souza over the phone about a demand of Rs 25 crore including Rs 8 crore for Sameer Wankhede.
