Sail further claimed that he overheard KP Gosavi (another independent witness in the case, whose picture with Aryan Khan had gone viral) talking to another regarding plans to extort Rupees 18 crores and to give Rupees 8 crores out of it to Wankhede. He further claimed that he saw Shah Rukh Khan's manager meeting Gosavi, and that he had collected two bags of cash for Gosavi from a location, which had Rupees 38 lakhs.The NCB DDG said that Sail should have filed the affidavit before the court instead of releasing it in social media, as he was an independent witness in a case which is sub-judice.

In the said affidavit, Mr Prabhakar has given details about his movements and activities on 2nd of October 2021, the day above crime was registered.As he is a witness in the case and as the case is before the honorable court and sub-judice, he needs to submit his prayer to the Honorable court rather than through social media if he has anything to say.
