Khandare said, “Prabhakar is giving his statement to DCP Zone 1 and it is being recorded now.” ETimes asked him if Sail was under any pressure during his time as a punter with NCB. And Khandare said, “He was under a lot of pressure and he was worried, but once he was given security and our affidavit was accepted and our statement was recorded, he calmed down.”
We also point to the fact that KP Gosavi SAIL had denied all the disclosures mentioned in the affidavit. Khandare offered his rebuttal, “Gosavi may have denied our statement, but he cannot deny the evidence. Anyone can say anything in front of the camera. I can stand up and say that I am Shah Rukh Khan. But for people to believe in me, I would need at least 2-3 pictures of me where I look like Shah Rukh. Otherwise who will believe me? Look, the evidence that Prabhakar has, the chats that we have released today are solid. How is Gosavi going to negate those chats? There is also photographic evidence. How would he deny it? The first reaction of every accused is always to claim that they are innocent. But trial is where it is proved who is guilty and who is not.”
Khandare also accepted Aryan Khan’s argument in the court where he had denied any connection with SAIL. He said, ‘Aryan and the other accused are not related to us in any way. His statement is 100% true. We are fighting for our safety.” SAIL said in its statement that they had spoken to Shah Rukh Khan’s manager. Pooja Dadlani And Khandare said, “If Pooja Dadlani is wrong, she will also be prosecuted. Whatever has been said in Prabhakar’s statement, the police will investigate and take appropriate action. The alleged tussle between the manager of SAIL and Shahrukh Regarding the transaction, Khandare said, “Investigation is on, so we cannot tell whether the money came directly from him or someone else. But I can assure you, the money was definitely received. Prabhakar had received a token amount for the entire amount.”
Lastly, we asked Khandare whether SAIL claimed that Pooja gave him the money personally. Khandare clarified, “He had not met her during the transaction process, he had seen her on some other occasion.”
