The Special Enquiry Team (SET) of Mumbai Police, probing the alleged extortion in connection with the arrest of Aryan Khan, has summoned Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani to record her statement, as she was the one who allegedly paid the extortion money to KP Gosavi and the people associated with him.
Mumbai Police have also summoned Chikky Pandey as he was also part of the alleged meeting between Gosavi and Dadlani. Pandey had also not appeared before the police citing a Covid-19 positive report.
"Summons has been issued to Dadlani in capacity of a witness to record her statement but she has not appeared before the SET citing health reasons," a senior officer of Mumbai Police told mid-day.
