'Uddhav will soon write to Modi on NCB's excesses, threat to film industry'

MUMBAI: NCP spokesperson and skill development minister Nawab Malik on Tuesday said that Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray will soon write to PM Narendra Modi on NCB's "excesses" .
"I had a brief meeting with the chief minister and Maharashtra home minister Dilip Walse Patil on the recent NCB raids. I briefed them on the NCB's excesses and how it conducted fake and fabricated raids. The CM expressed concern over the threat to the entire Bollywood industry following NCB's raids. The Bollywood industry provides jobs to over one lakh people. I brought it to the notice of the CM that the NCB has conducted a media trial of at least 25 leading actors in the name of their interrogation for alleged involvement in drug peddling," Malik said. On the affidavit filed by witness Prabhakar Sail, who had alleged that there was a Rs 25 crore deal, Malik said it was a serious matter and needs a high-level probe by law-enforcing agencies.
