Last evening NCB team led by its sharp officer Sameer Wankhede ji reached Goregaon to nab a big notorious drug peddler. Unbeknownst to the NCB, the peddler came to deliver the goods, when the NCB team caught hold of him and made him sit in the car, shouting loudly from the car, in a few moments a crowd of 50-60 people attacked 6 NCB members. The team was stunned by the sudden big attack, two officers who came to the rescue were surrounded by the assailants. Seeing the situation getting under control, Sameer Wankhede ji showed courage, patience and intelligence, not only saved the life of himself and the team but also arrested the peddler..."
