Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, whose name cropped up in the call detail record (CDR) racket on Friday, has dismissed the claims against him, terming them “random”.
The 43-year-old actor took to Twitter, where he criticised the media for questioning him about his involvement in the racket when he was taking his daughter, Shora, to her school for an exhibition.
“Last evening, I was helping my daughter to prepare her school project Hydroelectric Power Generator and went to her school this morning for Project Exhibition. To my surprise, the media had questions about some random allegations on me #Disgust,” Mr. Siddiqui wrote, posting a few pictures from the activity with his daughter.
The Thane police said on Friday that they had summoned Mr. Siddiqui, his wife, Anjali, and a lawyer in connection with investigations into the CDR racket that came to light in January.
DCP (Crime) Abhishek Trimukhi told reporters that the three had been called after some of the arrested accused told the police that a lawyer had obtained CDRs of the actor’s wife from private detectives.
