InDepth headlines national business sports cricket regional entertainment technology world travel autos health | Police ‘see’ Salman’s underworld links 20.59 IST 03rd Oct 2002 By IndiaExpress Bureau The Mumbai Police on Thursday virtually charged Bollywood actor Salman Khan, with maintaining ties with the underworld. In support of their claim, the Mumbai police said they had taped conversations between the actor and two notorious mafia dons, Chhota Shakeel and Abu Salem. "We have these taped conversations which clearly indicate Khan discussing with these two dons about certain Bollywood issues," said reports quoting a police official, who preferred anonymity. Police hinted that they might use the tapes against Khan if he refused to cooperate with them in a case against film financer Bharat Shah, who is in custody for alleged links to the underworld. "Khan is one of the witnesses in the case. If he turns hostile we would then use these tapes against him," the official added. The police said Khan could be given the same treatment as film star Sanjay Dutt. Tapes were released several weeks ago in which Dutt and Shakeel -- allegedly the hitman of Karachi-based underworld kingpin Dawood Ibrahim -- were heard discussing a possible murder of a Bollywood star. The police official said Khan reportedly spoke on telephone to both Shakeel and Abu Salem, who was detained last month in Portugal. Salman is free on bail of only Rs 950 after allegedly crashing his Toyota Land Cruiser last Saturday in Bandra, killing one and injuring three others. Police have said Khan was driving under the influence of alcohol and alleged on Thursday he may not have a valid driver's license. "On Saturday itself when the police asked him for his license, the actor was unable to produce it. He has not produced it until now," joint police commissioner Ahmed Javed said. Khan said it was his police guard who was driving the Land Cruiser at the time of the accident. |
