The police on Sunday recorded voice samples of Bollywood star Salman Khan and questioned him in connection
with the telephonic conversation he purportedly had with actress Aishwarya Rai, in which the actor flaunted his links with the underworld.

The actor was questioned at the Andheri crime branch unit between 1 pm to 4 pm. The police have also taken his voice sample, Salman's lawyer Dipesh Mehta told PTI.

Mehta further said the actor was fully cooperating with the police.

Describing the conversation as 'false and fabricated', Mehta had earlier said, "This is an attempt by the media to sensationalise the issue and the voice in the cassette is certainly not of Salman Khan."

"It cannot be true because if the police had the cassette four years ago, they would have taken action against Salman then," he said.

The conversation, which was recorded in 2001, was earlier published by a local newspaper on July 14.

In the conversation, Khan had threatened Rai to perform in an entertainment programme organised by fugitive gangster Abu Salem, warning her of what harm the underworld figures could cause if their wish was not conceded.

During the conversation, although Rai warned Khan that he is drunk and that it was likely that his phone was being tapped, the actor, who at that time was reportedly having an affair with Rai, in his conversation continued to flaunt his connection with underworld figures Salem, Chota Shakeel, Dawood Ibrahim and Guru Satam.
