An officer from the CIU unit on condition of anonymity told Mid-day, "DJ Chetas' name surfaced during the interrogation of the arrested accused. We had called him for interrogation on November 5 and 6. We checked his mobile phone, call records and WhatsApp chat history and tallied it with the records of the arrested accused and others wanted in the case, but nothing suspicious has come out so far. DJ Chetas has not revealed any role in the cricket betting case. We let him go after recording his statement."
DJ Chetas said that he was called twice for interrogation. "CIU unit's API Santosh Kotwal and other officials interrogated me for hours. They checked my phone, mails, and WhatsApp chat history but nothing has come out. I was never involved in this kind of activity. I am a professional DJ and composing music is my profession. I have achieved this position with great effort."
