After Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s name cropped up for allegedly spying on his wife, the actor has 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 on Saturday.

The actor’s name cropped up after Mumbai 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. The police said Nawazuddin has not responded to their summons.
