Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been called to record a statement by Thane crime branch in Maharshtra.

His lawyer Rizwan Siddiqui is alleged to have illegally obtained the Call Detail Record (CDR) details of actor's estranged wife Sheeba. She is locked in a bitter divorce battle with him.

The actor's lawyer is said to have obtained the CDR with the help of one Prashant Palekar who was arrested by Thane crime branch last month.

DCP Abhishek Trimukhe of Thane crime branch said,"We have summoned Nawazuddin, his lawyer Rizwan Siddiqui and wife Sheena to find out who is the one who ordered to obtain CDR illegally. CDR can be obtained only by an officer of the rank of SP. But the private detectives were selling CDR data to private clients for Rs.30,000-50000".

The police said that the future course of action will be determined from the statements of Nawazuddin, his wife Sheeba and his lawyer.

It will then be decided whether Nawazuddin and Rizwan be made accused or not.

The Thane police is investigating an inter-state CDR (call detail record) racket run by private detectives in Mumbai and Thane. As of now, eleven people have been arrested.

During interrogation, the accused have revealed that they would use user ID and passwords of Police officers illegally to obtain CDR for their clients and would sell it for Rs. 30,000-50,000.

Thane police had also arrested Rajni Pandit last month who is said to be India's first female private detective in this case.
