HYDERABAD: The sixth day of questioning of film personalities by the SIT team on Tuesday concluded in just three hours and 15 minutes. Art director Dharma Rao alias Chinna was questioned at SIT office from 10.30 am to 1.45 pm about why his name figured in the contact list of Calvin Mascarenhas, the alleged kingpin of the drug trafficking who was arrested on June 2.

It is learnt that the questioning of Dharma Rao was not fruitful for the SIT officials as they could not get any information from him on any more links between peddlers and consumers. The officials did not collect body fluids, hair samples and nail scrapings of Rao. 

As soon as his name figured in the list of people summoned by SIT, the art director came before the media claiming his innocence and asserted that he did not even smoke and did not have any links with the drug racket.
