Prabhakar Sail's lawyer Tushar Khandare confirmed the news of his demise and added that the deceased's family members do not suspect any foul play.

For the unversed, Sail who claimed to be the bodyguard of another NCB witness KP Gosavi, had alleged extortion by NCB officials after Aryan Khan was arrested during a raid on a Goa-bound cruise off the Mumbai coast on October 3 last year.

The NCB had informed the court that Sail had turned hostile and his affidavit was still pending before the court, stated a report in Hindustan Times.

Earlier, a Special Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) court had granted a 60-days extension to the Special Investigating Team (SIT) of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to file a charge sheet in the Cordelia cruise drug case. However, SIT investigating the case had appealed to Mumbai Sessions Court for a extension of 90 days in filing a chargesheet.
