The office of B4U was raided by Mumbai Police on Monday following the arrest of Film producer and financier, Bharat Shah, who is supposed to have close links with the channel. Investigators are probing links between the film industry and the underworld. "How can he be linked with the underworld", was the refrain from the film trade, where he has been investing in large sums since the last three decades.
But some others, on condition of anonymity, said "police are doing their job. If they come across anything concrete, it is for them to take action". The sensational arrest of the Bollywood bigwig has sent in shock waves through the film industry and a fear-pyschosis has gripped the film trade. Top distributors were huddled in a hurriedly-summoned late evening meeting at Naaz building, the hub of the film trade, to discuss the repurcussions of the arrest on the film industry. At least three films, of which Bharat Shah is the world right controller, are lined up for release in the next two months, industry sources said. Bureau Report
