Kumar had reached the ED office around 11 am on Saturday, and was quizzed till 9 pm. As per policy, music companies have to share royalties with artistes and composers of songs if they are played as caller tunes or used for other commercial purposes. On Friday, the central agency had conducted searches at eight premises, five in Mumbai, two in Delhi and one location in Kolkata. The officials said searches were conducted at the premises of five major music companies to collect the documents and records of their financial transactions. When contacted, a representative for T-Series said surveys had been carried out and they co-operated with the agency.
