The critically-acclaimed actor’s name came to light after the police in Thane nabbed 11 persons, mainly private detectives, who were involved in the Call Detail Records scam.
Deputy Commissioner of police (crime), Abhishek Trimukhi said in a statement, “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.”
