Bollywood Stars Cleared in Major Drug Case
25 Apr
Summary
- No evidence found linking celebrities to drug network.
- Mumbai Police to file supplementary chargesheet soon.
- Orhan Awatramani criticizes media over past coverage.
Mumbai Police's investigation into a 2022 drug case is reportedly concluding with no evidence found against prominent actors Shraddha Kapoor and Nora Fatehi. The Crime Branch and Anti-Narcotics Cell are preparing to file a supplementary chargesheet, which is expected to clear the celebrities.
The case originated in August 2022 following the arrest of a alleged drug trafficker and the recovery of mephedrone. During interrogation, the accused claimed to have supplied drugs at parties attended by several public figures, leading to their names being mentioned. However, the police have stated they lack sufficient evidence to link these celebrities to the drug supply chain.
Social media personality Orhan Awatramani, also expected to be cleared, expressed frustration over earlier sensationalized media coverage. While the investigation continues against those directly involved in the drug trade, the lack of evidence means the celebrities will be dropped from further proceedings.
