Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar gets NCB notice over alleged drug party viral video

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has sent a notice to filmmaker Karan Johar in connection with the alleged drug party at his residence in 2019 in which several Bollywood personalities were seen in a viral video. An NCB official said that a notice has been given to Karan Johar with regard to the video which was in circulation.

"The NCB had received a complaint from Manjinder Singh Sirsa in this regard and was marked to the Maharashtra Zonal Unit. To check the veracity of the video the notice has been sent," the official said.

The official also clarified that Karan Johar has not been asked to appear before the drug-law enforcement agency.

Sirsa, a Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader approached the NCB in September this year over the alleged drug party hosted at Karan Johar`s residence in 2019 where several top actors were in attendance including Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Varun Dhawan, Ranbir Kapoor, Malaika Arora, among others.

The NCB in the last few months has questioned several film personalities in connection with separate drug cases related to Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput`s death and other cases.
