Mumbai, Feb 20 (IANS): The Maharashtra Police have filed an FIR against Sameer Wakhende, the controversial former NCB Zonal Director (Mumbai) at the Kopri police station of Thane district for getting a liquor license for his bar by allegedly furnishing false information.

Mr Wankhede allegedly furnished fake information regarding his date of birth. At the time when the liquor licence was obtained, Wankhede was 17 years and eleven months old whereas to get the liquor license one should be a major," said a source.
