Bollywood tapes: The underworld connection

Jake Khan in Mumbai

Skeletons are tumbling out of Bollywood's closet once again.

A special court in Mumbai on Thursday heard an audiocassette which the prosecution claimed contained a telephonic conversation between Pakistan-based gangster Chhota Shakeel and four film personalities -- actor Sanjay Dutt, director-actor Mahesh Manjrekar, producer Harish Sugandh and director Sanjay Gupta.

The cassette was played before designated judge A P Bhangale, who is hearing a case against film financier Bharat Shah, producer Nasim Rizvi, his assistant Abdul Rahim Allah Baksh and Dubai-based hawala operator Mohammed Shamshuddin. The four have been accused of using slush funds to finance films.

Rediff.com has acquired the transcript of the taped conversation. Here is a part of it:

Chhota Shakeel:Salaam, salaam bhaiya kya haal hain?
