In 2001, Shah was arrested following an investigation into whether a film he financed, ''[[Chori Chori Chupke Chupke]]'', was funded by the [[Organised crime in India|Indian mafia]]. This arrest led to a conviction in 2003 for not disclosing fellow producer, Nazim Rizwi's links to the Indian mafia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3151036.stm|title=Indian movie mogul convicted|publisher=BBC News|date=30 September 2003}}</ref> Rizwi and his assistant, Abdul Rahim Allahbaksh Khan, were also convicted of forging links with the Indian mafia to [[Extortion|extort]] film personalities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2003/sep/30mum1.htm|title=
