On March 10, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his wife were summoned by Thane's crime branch in connection with the CDR racket.
The duo was summoned after some of the arrested accused had told the police that an advocate named Rizwan Siddiqui had obtained the CDR of the actor's wife from private detectives.
The matter is part of the larger CDR leakage racket that involved private detectives illegally sourcing CDR of people for their clients. Thane's crime branch has arrested 11 in this connection, so far.
India's first woman private detective, Rajani Pandit, was also arrested in this connection, in February, in addition to four more detectives.
