In a recent development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated an investigation into former Mumbai NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede regarding a case of alleged money laundering. Wankhede, a member of the Scheduled Caste community, has been at the center of a legal storm, alleging harassment by IPS officer Gyaneshwar Singh.

The ED's probe comes after Wankhede filed a complaint with the Delhi Police, seeking action against Singh for purported harassment based on caste identity. Wankhede, invoking the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, claimed entitlement to protection under the law.

Additionally, Wankhede's legal counsel accused Singh of exceeding the investigation's scope, subjecting Wankhede to humiliation. Allegations include threats of job loss, leakage of inquiry details to the media, and coercion of witnesses. Despite repeated pleas, Wankhede asserts no substantive action has been taken against Singh.

Furthermore, Wankhede contends that Singh's actions resulted in social ostracization and defamation, impacting both him and his community. The legal saga intensified as Wankhede sought recourse through a special court under the SC/ST Act due to alleged inaction against Singh.

The unfolding legal drama saw a Delhi court issuing a notice to the Delhi Police, demanding an action taken report regarding Wankhede's complaint against Singh. Wankhede's legal representatives emphasize the urgency of the situation, underscoring the need for accountability and justice.

Meanwhile, the probing agency has summoned three NCB officers for questioning, adding complexity to the ongoing investigation. As the legal battle ensues, Wankhede remains steadfast in his pursuit of justice, navigating the intricacies of the law to address the alleged injustices he has faced.
