Meanwhile, in 2022, Siddhanth was released on station bail after he was arrested when his medical reports confirmed his consumption of drugs
Last year, Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor’s brother Siddhanth Kapoor was summoned by the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of the Mumbai Police, allegedly in connection with the Rs 252 crore MD drugs case, to record his statement at the Ghatkopar unit on November 25.
A second summons had also been sent to Social media influencer
Orry (Orhan Awatramani), who had been asked to appear at the ANC Ghatkopar unit on Wednesday, November 26, to record his statement in the case, according to Mumbai Police.
How
Shraddha Kapoor reacted
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actress’ aunt Tejaswini Kolhapure revealed, “Siddhanth has been in the wrong place at the wrong time and because he is from this family, his name gets highlighted. The first time it happened, me and my husband went to get him out because he was with his friends, and we knew all his friends.”
Kolhapure added, “People are judgemental when it comes to the company you keep. The way they got affected, it was terrible. One day, one political group was shouting slogans outside the house. Shraddha and Siddhanth were crying inside. Unfortunately, this was turned into a big deal. They were really affected.”
Meanwhile, in 2022, Siddhanth was released on station bail after he was arrested when his medical reports confirmed his consumption of drugs. The other four people detained were also released on station bail, as per the police.
The actor-director’s questioning lasted for nearly five hours after which he was allowed to go, the officials said without providing further details.
Earlier,
Siddhanth had been apprehended in Bengaluru in 2022 on charges of drug consumption.
Shaikh, also known as ‘Lavish’, was deported from Dubai last month.
He was initially arrested in a Rs 252 crore mephedrone seizure from Sangli in Maharashtra, and later arrested by the Ghatkopar unit of the ANC.
He is a close aide of drug lord Salim Dola, who oversaw the manufacture and distribution of mephedrone in various states, the official said.
