Item girl Mumait Khan's stint in the Bigg Boss has been cut short as she received summons from the excise department as part of the ongoing probe into Tollywood's links with drug peddlers. She has to immediately leave the Bigg Boss house located in Lonavala, Mumbai and go to Hyderabad to be a part of the investigation. 


According to a report in TOI, Mumait Khan who is participating in reality show Bigg Boss Telugu, will be appearing before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the drug peddling cases, enforcement director Akun Sabharwal said Mumait Khan will have to appear for questioning like the others who have been issued notices under Section 67 of NDPS Act.

"Mumait is scheduled to appear before the SIT on July 27," Akun Sabharwal said. However, unlike her male colleagues who have been appearing before the investigating officers at the SIT office in Abkari Bhavan at Nampally, Mumait Khan will have the choice of talking to the SIT sleuths at a place of her convenience. "But she will be questioned in Hyderabad," a SIT official said. As already published in TOI, SIT sleuths, who could not find Mumait's address to serve her the notice, contacted the organisers of the Bigg Boss Telugu show and intimated them about the notice.

Tollywood bigwigs such as director Puri Jagannath, cinematographer Shyam K Naidu and actor Subbaraju have appeared before the SIT for questioning. Mumait Khan, who has acted in 40 Telugu, 20 Hindi, 16 Tamil and five Kannada films, is one of the contestants in the first season of Bigg Boss Telugu being hosted by NTR Jr.
