Mumbai: Ending a year-long controversy in the caste certificate case, the Caste Scrutiny Committee has given a clean chit to former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer Sameer Wankhede. The committee has also upheld Sameer Wankhede's caste certificate. In a 91-page order, the panel had removed submissions from both sides, saying Wankhede was not a Muslim by birth. The committee also concluded that Sameer Wankhede and his father Dnyaneshwar Wankhede had not left Hinduism and embraced the Muslim religion.

The order further said that Sameer Wankhede and his father belong to the Mahar-37 Scheduled Caste, which is recognised in Hinduism. Wankhede tweeted soon after the order, "Satyamev Jayate.'' The committee held that former Maharashtra cabinet minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik and other complainants like Manoj Sansre, Ashok Kamble and Sanjay Kamble could not prove their grievances and claims. They had complained about Sameer Wankhede's caste certificate.

The issue had cropped up last year when Wankhede was the NCB chief in Mumbai. Now Wankhede said that Malik had raised the issue of caste certificate as a cabinet minister at that time only because his team had arrested Malik's son-in-law Sameer Khan in a drug case. Khan was in jail in the first half of 2021. After his release, Malik started levelling allegations against Wankhede.
