Office of Narcotics Control to Re-examine Video of Karan Johar’s 2019 Party and May Summon Actors for Questioning | Hindi Movie News


The Office of Narcotics Control responded to the video of filmmaker Karan Johar’s 2019 party. The party was attended by Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Malaika Arora, Shahid Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Zoya Akhtar and others. The NCB is said to be reexamining the video of the party.

According to Times Now, the NCB is investigating the drugs angle in relation to the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput. The reports also suggest that the investigating agency could summon the actors for questioning. It is also said that the statements of the actors will be recorded via email and through their lawyers.

Former MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa had filed a complaint with the Office of Narcotics Control in which he appealed to start an investigation into an alleged ‘drug party’ that Karan allegedly organized in 2019.

Karan recently released an official statement and denied reports of drug use at her house party. His statement read: “No narcotic substance was used at the party. I WOULD LIKE IN AN UNEQUIVOUS WAY ONCE AGAIN TO DECLARE THAT I DO NOT CONSUME NARCOTICS AND I DO NOT PROMOTE, I ENCOURAGE THE CONSUMPTION OF SAID SUBSTANCE “.

He also clarified on reports that suggested his employees’ involvement in the drug case. The statement read: “Anubhav Chopra is not an employee of Dharma Productions. He was briefly associated with us for just two months as second assistant director of a film in 2011-12 and as assistant director of a short film in January 2013. Mr. Kshitij Ravi Prasad joined Dharmatic Entertainment (Dharma’s sister company Productions) in November 2019 as one of the executive producers under contract for a project that ultimately did not materialize.
