Reportedly, the picture was captured during Amruta’s river project’s anthem recording. In another tweet, Malik shared the screenshot of the song’s video where it was mentioned that Jaydeep Rana was the finance head of the song.

Later, Malik addressed a conference in which he said that Rana is currently serving time in jail in a connection with drug trafficking case. He further added that Rana had connections with former Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis. “He (Rana) was financial head of the famous river song sung by former CM’s wife Amrita Fadnavis. The drug business in the state grew under his (Fadnavis) tenure,” Malik further added.

Fadnavis said that Malik had fired a ‘firecracker’ and has dragged him and his wife in the matter which is baseless. However, he added that he will take the ‘game’ which Malik started and give it a logical end. “I will burst a bomb after Diwali,” said Fadnavis.

Fadnavis Questions Nawab Malik’s Mental Stability

According to Fadnavis, the “River March” team had already clarified that the alleged drug dealer was hired by the creative team of the platform. He also questioned the mental stability of Malik and mentioned that the picture Malik shared was four years old.

“Neither my wife nor I have any relations with that person. He is making allegations against the BJP based on just one picture. His son-in-law was caught with drugs, does that make NCP a party of drug suppliers?” he further added, as quoted by NDTV.
