Police after Salman.K after questioning

That Bollywood has had a notorious relationship with the underworld in the past is a known fact. Some will recall one of the more recent Bollywood-Underworld hook-ups in the form of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, in which Producer Nasim Rizvi and Financer Bharat Shah were found guilty of using money sent from mobster Chhota Shakeel, who lives in the Middle East and is a first hand man of Dawood Ibrahim (currently India's most wanted thug). "We have summoned Salman Khan after his name cropped up during the interrogation of Anjum Adam Phajalani in the Bharat Shah case," said Deputy Commissioner of Police D.T. Shinde. Phajalani, one of Chhota Shakeel's men who is under police custody, confessed to the police that Salman Khan had reduced his fees for the film after Phajalani threatened him - stating that he had a "casual chat with Salman to make the actor understand why he should work in the film."


According to Chief Public Prosecutor, Rohini Salian this past Wednesday, Salman's going rate at the time of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke was roughly Rs. 40 million. He was forced by the thugs to reduce his fee to Rs. 15 million.

Salman Khan has reportedly cancelled his South African trip in order to comply with the Crime Branch's intent to question him about the terms mentioned above.
