Mumbai: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s detention issue is apparently turning out to be nothing less than a Bollywood potboiler. The latest angle to the same suggests that the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) might have detained Khan at the Newark Liberty International Airport last week because the organisers of his show in the US were apparently under US scrutiny. According to reports, the organisers of the show SRK had gone to attend were not above the watermarks of controversies, including underworld links. Farhath Hussain, the promoter of the show, who is a businessman from London, as well his brother Altaf Hussain, a Chicago-based businessman who runs ‘Lake County South Asian Entertainment Inc’ are under US suspicion on counts of tax evasion and underworld links, as suggested by a news daily. The newspaper report goes on to say that there are other promoters too along with Lake County South Asian Entertainment Inc and some of them are on the radar of authorities in the US, UK and India. It was this piece of information on the radar that forced the CBP to ask Khan to step aside for detailed questioning. It can be said that this is probably why the CPB refused to let go Khan despite the representatives of the organisers of the show were standing in to acknowledge the superstar`s identity and the status he enjoys in India. Now, if one is to believe this version, then all of other versions hinting at Khan being a `victim` of racial profiling will be null and void.
