"Nawazuddin Siddiqui has no direct role in the Call Data Record (CDR) case. He was summoned as a witness and has assured cooperation," he told a news agency.
Background
The CDR racket was busted in January
It was on 24 January this year that the Police nabbed several private detectives who were involved in the illegal procurement and sale of CDRs of individuals including Nawaz's wife. The arrested accused informed the Police that Rizwan had extracted Aaliya's call details from them. The cops then issued a summon to the actor, his wife and the lawyer.
