In yet another shocking turn of events, now Sameer Wankhede’s sister Yasmin has refuted claims made by the NCB officer’s ex-father-in-law that claims that the Wankhede family is Muslim. She countered, “He is a doctor, didn’t he see the birth certificate of my brother’s son, where it is clearly written that his name is Sameer Dyandeo Wankhede. He is speaking out because the marriage didn’t work out and now is just vendetta”.

Yasmin has also claimed to have been targeted in the case. “I have filed a written complaint on October 21 but the police have not even reverted to my case; they are not paying attention. I have also filed a case with the National Commission for Women (NCW) for invasion of privacy and outraging a woman’s modesty”.

On Thursday, even as Sameer was being investigated, his first wife Dr Shabana Qureshi‘s father Dr. Zahid Qureshi spoke to the media and addressed the rumours of the officer’s religious background. Contradictory to Wankhede’s claims that he has been a Hindu by birth, Qureshi said that he knew Wankhede’s family as Muslims. In an interview with ABP news, he revealed that he knew Sameer and his family for about three to four years agreeing to give his daughter’s hand in marriage. Claiming that the marriage was an arranged marriage, he said that the family “came to us as Muslims.”

Qureshi also recalled that at the time of the marriage, Wankhede was preparing for UPSC and would go to the mosque for namaz. Claiming that they got to know of his Hindu background through media reports, he said, “We were relieved after our daughter’s divorce”. He further claimed that the document that Wankhede was showing to the media was his ‘pre-marriage certificate’. “When my daughter got married, she was a Muslim and everyone knew her,” Zahid said. He also said that he did not know from which quota he got the job after passing the UPSC exam. The doctor also said that when the question of his family’s reputation arose, he had to speak up. He also said that the family has forgotten everything after their daughter got divorced and hence, ‘will not take any action against anyone.’
