Bollywood finds itself in the middle of another headline-grabbing controversy as actor-director Siddhanth Kapoor has been summoned by the Mumbai Police in connection with the massive 252 crore mephedrone drug seizure case. According to investigators, Kapoor has been asked to appear on November 25 to record his statement after his name reportedly surfaced during interrogation of key suspects. Social media personality Orhan Awatramani—popularly known as Orry—has also come under the police lens, adding even more public intrigue to the unfolding case.
The investigation escalated after the arrest of Mohammed Salim Mohammed Suhail Shaikh, the alleged mastermind behind a chain of high-profile parties said to attract celebrities, models, socialites, and political figures. Police sources claim that the proceeds from these glamorous gatherings may have been funneled into wider narcotics networks. Reports suggest that during questioning, multiple celebrity names, including Siddhanth Kapoor, Orry, Shraddha Kapoor, Nora Fatehi, and filmmaker duo Abbas–Mustan, were mentioned. At this stage, authorities are still verifying the nature and extent of any alleged involvement.
For Siddhanth Kapoor, this development has reignited attention on his earlier brush with the law in 2022, when he was detained in Bengaluru after testing positive for narcotics—a situation he attributed to his drinks being unknowingly spiked. While past incidents do not determine guilt, they undoubtedly raise public curiosity as the current probe widens. Legal experts believe that the outcome of this investigation could influence how future high-profile narcotics cases are handled.
Meanwhile, Mumbai’s Anti-Narcotics Cell is expanding its net beyond celebrities. Encrypted chats, financial trails, and links between social media influencers and alleged drug distributors are all being examined as investigators attempt to unravel a broader network. Officials anticipate that more names may emerge, setting the stage for further twists in the coming days.
As the spotlight intensifies, the saga has once again exposed the murkier edges of Bollywood’s off-screen world—a space where glamour, power, and controversy often collide. Whether this case triggers greater accountability or simply becomes another passing storm, the industry appears to be bracing for a turbulent chapter ahead.
