Boney Kapoor, Chunky Pandey interrogated

Film producer Boney Kapoor was interrogated by the crime branch for over six hours in connection with the sensational murder of music magnate Gulshan Kumar. The police said Kapoor was questioned from 7.30 pm till about 1 pm on Wednesday night.

He is the third Bollywood personality to be grilled after film stars Shahrukh Khan and Aditya Panscholi for attending a show organised at Dubai by alleged druglord Vicky Goswami.

Joint Police Commissioner Ranjit Singh Sharma said some more film personalities who attended the programme at a Dubai hotel are likely to be interrogated. Film star Chunky Pandey was also questioned.

Pandey later said he was asked about his film career and his visits to Dubai. Similar questions were posed to Boney Kapoor and producer Pahlaj Nihalani.

Police sources described the inquiry as ''normal''. Meanwhile, Nadeem, who is wanted in connection with the conspiracy to murder Gulshan Kumar has not come to Bombay on Thursday as scheduled.

Satish Maneshinde, who appeared for film star Sanjay Dutt in the March 12, 1993 bomb blasts case, may appear for music director Nadeem, prime accused in the Gulshan Kumar murder case.

However, Maneshinde will appear for Nadeem only if the composer returns to India. The advocate cannot seek anticipatory bail if his client is abroad.
