Aryan Khan Defamation Case Against Sameer Wankhede Thrown Out Of Court

In a stunning legal showdown that has all the drama of a Bollywood blockbuster, the Delhi High Court has thrown out Sameer Wankhede's ₹2 crore defamation case against Aryan Khan. The case, which centered around Aryan's new web series "The Bards of Bollywood," has been the talk of the town, and this latest development has only added more fuel to the fire.

For those who've been living under a rock, here's a quick recap. Sameer Wankhede, the former NCB officer who arrested Aryan Khan in a high-profile drug case in 2021, filed a defamation suit against the star kid, claiming that he had been unfairly portrayed in the new series. Wankhede alleged that a character in the show, who bears a striking resemblance to him, was a deliberate and malicious attempt to mock him and tarnish his reputation.

The stage was set for an epic legal battle, a real-life courtroom drama that had the entire nation on the edge of their seats. But in a twist that no one saw coming, the Delhi High Court has dismissed the case, citing a lack of jurisdiction.

According to a reel posted by Yogi Baba Productions, the court questioned why the case was filed in Delhi when the alleged "theft" of reputation took place in Mumbai, where the show was produced and the drug case was registered. "If the theft happened in Mumbai, why are you filing a complaint in Delhi?" the judge reportedly asked Wankhede's lawyer.

Wankhede's legal team argued that the show had been viewed by people in Delhi, and therefore, the negative impact on his reputation was felt in the capital as well. But the judge was not convinced. The case was rejected, but not without a glimmer of hope for Wankhede. The judge reportedly told his lawyer to "come next time with better reasons to understand the Delhi High Court's jurisdiction in this." In other words, try again later.

So, while Team Aryan is celebrating this legal victory, the war is far from over. Wankhede has been given a lifeline, a chance to refile his case with a stronger argument. And if there's one thing we know about Sameer Wankhede, it's that he's not one to back down from a fight.

Adding another layer of intrigue to this already juicy story is a viral interview of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, which was given during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the interview, Kashyap alleges that the government was using Wankhede to distract from "real questions." He also claims that Wankhede "loves to invade Bollywood and stay in the news." Kashyap's own bank account was frozen for two years by Wankhede, a fact that adds a personal and bitter dimension to his criticism.

Kashyap's comments have resurfaced in the wake of the defamation case, and they have added a new and controversial perspective to the ongoing saga. Is Wankhede a dedicated officer who is being unfairly targeted by the rich and powerful? Or is he a publicity-hungry official who is using his position to settle personal scores?

The truth, as always, is probably somewhere in between. But one thing is for sure: the Aryan Khan-Sameer Wankhede saga is the gift that keeps on giving. It's a story that has everything: a star kid, a controversial officer, a high-profile drug case, a web series, a defamation suit, and now, a courtroom drama that is playing out in the public eye.

What will happen next? Will Wankhede refile his case? Will Aryan respond to the allegations? And what other skeletons will come tumbling out of the closet?

The nation is watching, and we, for one, can't wait to see how this story unfolds.
