The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Thursday issued a notice to filmmaker Karan Johar, seeking details regarding a video from a 2019 party organized by him.The NCB issued the notice after a complaint was filed by politician Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who provided the investigating agency with the video in question.
Sirsa has been at the forefront of the conspiracy theory that drugs were consumed at the party, which was attended by the likes of Vicky Kaushal, Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Arjun Kapoor, and others.Reacting to news of the NCB’s notice, he wrote on Twitter, “Get ready for Koffee with NCB Karan Johar.
”
In September, Sirsa met with NCB chief Rakesh Asthana and asked him to launch an investigation into the video.The NCB is investigating the drug angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
Speaking to reporters the same month, Mutha Ashok Jain, Deputy Director-General of NCB, said the video had nothing to do with the Sushant case.
Several Bollywood personalities came under the NCB’s scanner during the investigation into the alleged drug nexus in the film industry.
