MUMBAI: A special investigation team (SIT) of city police, formed to probe allegations of extortion in the arrest of actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan, on Monday recorded the statement of Sam D’Souza, who helped NCB witness K P Gosavi to get in touch with Khan’s manager, Pooja Dadlani.
D’Souza earlier claimed Gosavi and others had taken Rs 50 lakh from Dadlani but returned the money. D’Souza arrived at SIT chief ACP Milind Khetle’s office near CSMT on Monday afternoon and his statement was recorded for around seven hours.
Aryan was detained by NCB on October 2 in a drug case while he was about to board a cruise liner and placed under arrest the next day. Aryan was released from Arthur Road jail on October 30. Gosavi was arrested by Pune police in October in connection with a cheating case in Pune. His personal bodyguard, Prabhakar Sail, had complained that he overheard Gosavi talking to D’Souza about money.
