Nawaz Is a Soft Target, He Is Innocent, Says Wife Aaliya Siddiqui
The actor’s name has cropped up in the CDR scam and he has been accused of spying on his wife.
After Nawazuddin Siddiqui's name cropped up for allegedly spying on his wife, the actor dismissed these as "random allegations".
"Last evening, I was helping my daughter to prepare her school project Hydroelectric Power Generator and went to her school this morning for Project Exhibition. To my surprise, the media had questions about some random allegations on me. #Disgust," Nawazuddin tweeted.
And now, the actor’s wife Aaliya Siddiqui has taken to Facebook to say that Nawaz is a soft target as a celebrity and all allegations of spying are baseless. In a long post, Aaliya wrote:
“Rahi baat CDR se judi iss nai controversy ki to, sachchaai jald sabke saamne aa jayegi. Bas main yahan itna hi kahungi ki Nawaz par lagaaye gaye allegation poori tarah se jhoote aur be-buniyaad hain. Celebrity hone ke karan, unhein soft target banaya gaya hai. (As far as CDR controversy is concerned, the truth will be out soon. I just want to say that all these allegations on Nawaz are baseless. Because of being a celebrity, he is a soft target.)”
The acclaimed award-winning actor has been accused of spying on his wife. His name cropped up after the Thane police's Crime Branch nabbed 11 persons, mainly private detectives, who were involved in the Call Detail Records (CDR) scam.
According to statements by some of the accused, Siddiqui had allegedly acquired CDRs of his wife's phone through an advocate by hiring a private sleuth to keep an eye on her contacts and whereabouts.
The police on Friday said Nawazuddin has not responded to police summons in this matter.
