Rakesh Roshan questioned

MUMBAI, MARCH.19. Film producer-director Rakesh Roshan was today questioned by officials of the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Bollywood- underworld nexus that surfaced after the arrest of Nasim Rizvi, producer of ``Chori Chori, Chupke Chupke.''

He was summoned to the ED office in south Mumbai around 11 a.m. and was questioned for five hours.

``We needed some clarifications and his name was there. Hence, we had to question him and some more film stars may be summoned,'' an ED official told PTI.

In another case referred to the ED by the Income Tax authorities, screen villain Amrish Puri was questioned in connection with the seizure of foreign currencies during the raids by the IT department last year.
