New Delhi: The CBI will question Bollywood actress Nagma in connection with her alleged nexus with the underworld, even as the agency claimed that it had evidence of involvement of Dawood Ibrahim in the Gutkha case allegedly involving Gutkha baron Rasiklal Manikchand Dhariwal.

"The name of Nagma figured in the confessional statement of one of the accused arrested by Mumbai police in smuggling of Gutkha machines to Pakistan. This is for her benefit only that she should come out clean and cooperate with the CBI," CBI director U S Misra said in New Delhi today (Apr 2, 2005).

He said that all the people named by Umbo, the accused arrested by Mumbai police, would be questioned by the CBI.

Referring to the ongoing investigation in the Gutkha case, the CBI director claimed that Dhariwal, Goa Gutkha owner J M Joshi, underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and his brother Anees Ibrahim "were in touch with each other."

"We are probing all angles in this case," Misra said.
