Zonal Director of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)'s Mumbai unit, Sameer Wankhede's sister Yasmeen Wankhede on Wednesday alleged that Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik has been stalking and threatening her online. She requested the National Commission for Women to register a complaint in the matter.
In the letter to the women commission, Yasmeen Wankhede wrote, "....recently the cabinet minister of the ruling State Government Nawab Malik made various false and scandalous allegations against me and my family members in order to deter my brother from honestly carrying out his duties. The said accused Nawab Malik in his attempt to defame me and my family members has gone to the extent of stalking me online and illegally taking my personal photographs from my social media handles i.e., Instagram, Facebook etc."
"The said accused Nawab Malik after stalking me online is now threatening to use my personal photographs and leak the same in media. That, the said accused has thus apart from committing the offence of stalking is also equally liable for the infringement of my privacy," the letter read.
Yasmeen further said in the letter that the accused Nawab Malik is indulging in issuing direct threats to us and trying to use pressure tactics and fear psychosis in his attempt to derail the investigation being carried out by the Narcotics Control Bureau. "I, therefore, request you to immediately register my complaint and take appropriate action in accordance with law against the said accused and his accomplices by registering my complaint as an FIR," she said.
