Mumbai police may interrogate Hrithik, Salman

Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan may be heading for trouble with the Mumbai Police likely to call them for interrogation in the Iqbal Attarwala case.

Attarwala, a front man of underworld don Chotta Shakeel, was deported to India on September 6.

He had organised a cricket match -- Bollywood versus the Pakistan cricket team -- in Dubai. Hrithik and Salman were part of the Bollywood team, which also included actors Suneil Shetty and Sohail Khan.

Interacting with media persons, Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police Rakesh Maria said: "We want to verify the purpose of their visit and want to question them about this event."

Earlier, the crime branch had called up Salman's brother and actor-producer Sohail for his participation in the match last week. He was questioned for two hours and then let go.

"We want to verify whether or not Bollywood personalities did their paper work with regard to their contract papers for the match," added Maria.

At present, Attarwala has been charged in a land-grabbing case in the suburban area of Malad in Mumbai.

Chotta Shakeel's brother-in-law Arif Bhaijan was arrested by the Mumbai police in the same case two days ago.
