IRS officer Sameer Wankhede on Friday (May 19) moved the Bombay high court in the alleged 25 crore extortion case regarding the arrest of Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan in 2021.

In his appeal, Wankhede said the CBI action against him is an act of revenge.

An urgent hearing at 2.30pm has been allowed. On Thursday, the former NCB Mumbai zone chief skipped the CBI summons after he was granted protection from arrest by the Delhi high court till May 22.

The Delhi high court on May 17 granted Wankhede the liberty to approach the Bombay high court for further relief.

In the Delhi high court, he also sought a cross-FIR against NCB deputy director-general Gyaneshwar Singh.
