A Special Investigation Team from the NCB has taken over six of its investigations, out of which one involves the arrest of Shah Rukh Khan\u2018s son Aryan Khan.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the allegations against him, he said, &#8220;Yes, I will continue (assisting the cases). Please ask the DDG too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Senior IPS officer Sanjay Kumar Singh, DDG Operations at NCB headquarters, who is heading the SIT, responded, \u201cYes he will continue assisting and we have already begun our investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team will probe the six cases, which have national and international ramifications, in order to conduct an extensive investigation to find out forward and backward linkages, the NCB had said on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Singh said that based on case records and progress in investigations, the team will decide if re-investigation will be done. \u201cLet me first see the case by case records and the progress in the investigation so far, then we will decide. Right now, only further investigation will be conducted in those cases,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, NCP leader Nawab Malik said skeletons will tumble out in the probe. \u201cI had demanded an S.I.T probe to investigate Sameer Dawood Wankhede for the kidnapping of and ransom demand from Aryan Khan. Now 2 SITs are constituted (state &amp; center), let us see who brings out the skeletons from the closet of Wankhede and exposes him and his nefarious private army, the senior Maharashtra minister tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>The NCB had arrested Aryan Khan and at least 19 others in the drugs on cruise case last month and Wankhede has been facing a departmental vigilance probe after an independent witness, in this case, alleged an extortion bid by those implicated in the investigation. Aryan Khan was released on bail on October 30.
