The Thane police on Friday said that they had summoned
actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, his wife and a lawyer in connection with
investigations into the Call Detail Record (CDR) scam that was unearthed in
January.
Deputy commissioner of police (crime) Abhishek Trimukhi
told mediapersons that the three had been called after some of the arrested
accused had told police that an advocate had obtained CDRs of the actor’s wife
from private detectives.
“Three arrested accused, Prasad Palekar, Ajinkya
Nagargoje and Jigar Makhwana informed the police that an advocate had obtained
the CDRs of Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s wife from private detectives. Hence to verify
the same, we have summoned them,” Trimukhi said.
The CDR racket was unearthed on January 24 when police, acting on a tip off,
nabbed four private detectives from Kalwa in the district.
The four, whom the police identified as Makesh Pandian
(42), Prashant Palekar (49), Jigar Makwana (35) and Samresh Jha (32) alias
Pratik Mohpal, had at the time revealed the name of renowned woman detective
Rajani Pandit who too was subsequently arrested.
Since then, Trimukhi said, 11 persons had been arrested
in the scam which involved the illegal procurement and sale of CDRs of private
individuals.
