&ldquo;The matter is subjudice, so I won&rsquo;t be able to share details with you. I have shared all the information with the NCB officers and I have recorded my statement in from of the magistrate. I will cooperate with the authorities for further probe in the case and will share whatever information is required from me,&rdquo; Dr. Garg told Mid-day.
The actor was questioned for nearly six hours on Monday. Earlier, Arjun Rampal was questioned by the NCB on November 13 in the matter.
