Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) panch witness Prabhakar Sal passed away on Friday in the Cordelia cruise drug case. According to his lawyer Tushar Khandare, Prabhakar died of a heart attack yesterday at his house in Mahul area of Chembur. Let us tell you that Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan was also made an accused in the cruise drug case, who later got bail.
Prabhakar cell’s lawyer Tushar Khandare confirmed his death and said that Prabhakar was at home in his last days. In such a situation, his family does not suspect any conspiracy behind this death. It has been told by the lawyer that Prabhakar’s family consists of his mother, wife and two children and the family is waiting for the arrival of Sail’s brothers from the village before the last rites.
Prabhakar was the personal security guard of KP Gosavi, another witness in the sail drug cruise case, in which Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan was the first to be arrested. KP Gosavi had also posted a picture of himself with Aryan and was even seen dragging his hand and taking him to the NCB office. At that time, the cabinet minister of Maharashtra, Nawab Malik had raised the issue of making a private person like Gosavi a witness in the case.
The role of KP Gosavi in this case was found suspicious. Then after absconding for several days, Gosavi was arrested by the Pune Police in a pending case, which is still in jail. Prabhakar was an independent witness in the cruise drugs case who said that the NCB officials had got him to sign around 10 blank papers. He also claimed that he had overheard a phone conversation about extortion of Rs 25 crore.
Let us inform that, a special court in Mumbai has given 60 days additional time to the NCB to file the charge sheet in the Aryan Khan cruise drugs case. Last year, NCB raided Cordelia Cruises off the Mumbai coast after Aryan Khan and several others were arrested. However, after several court hearings and a 26-day long custody, the Bombay High Court granted Aryan bail on October 28.
