The Nawazuddin-Rizwan Siddiqui battle is touching different heights now. Nawazuddin Sidddiqui’s lawyer, Rizwan Siddiqui, was arrested and is in police custody till March 23. To this he summoned his lawyer Rizwan Merchant, who is now a part of the probe with his client, the actor and his wife, Anjali Siddiqui.

Adv Rizwan Siddiqui claimed that the actor has brought political powers to the probe. He hinted about a saffron flagged party’s involvement in the case as Nawazuddin is acting in a biopic directly related to them stating that they’re doing everything illegally to save the actor and to protect their personal interest.

“They’re trying to frame a person that belongs to the legal fraternity. The arrest warrant was not formally processed and the arrest is illegal. On the pretext of safeguarding the interest of the main person in the case, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his brother, they’re trying to make Rizwan Siddiqui the scapegoat. They are in turn trying to protect the film and their image by making my client the soft target. We’ll challenge it in High Court,” said Rizwan Merchant.

He also added, “Nawazuddin was the one getting the CDR and everyone knows this. What does my client have to do with Anjali’s CDR records? Nawazuddin asked for the records and my client offered him a detective’s number, but that was the end of it. So why is my client suffering the custody?”

Meanwhile, Rizwan Siddiqui said, “Nawazuddin was doing everything in his power to get a divorce with his wife and everyone was aware of this. Anjali is his wife and he was the one who wanted the records. How am I involved with any of this? Dirty politics is the key here, they’re doing everything in their power to save Nawaz and his image along with the film.”
