''Dinesh was getting treated for some other ailment but the medication affected his liver adversely. That's why it is always recommended to take medicines very carefully. You never know when the medicine that one is taking to treat something can cause another major ailment. One should be very careful regarding allopathic medicines,'' he added.

Shetty also said that the entire 'CID' team is always in touch and they often meet and do their little reunions.
