NCB starts investigating viral video from Karan Johar's party

The Narcotics Control Bureau sources have informed DNA that the Mumbai Unit has started investigating a viral video of Bollywood celebrities from a party hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar. The team is going to investigate the whole truth behind the video.

They are going to dig deep to know if the video is real or was doctored by someone. If the video, originally shared by Karan Johar, is real, then the agency is likely to take the investigation forward.

After the video released, some believed that actor Vicky Kaushal consumed drugs. Apart from Vicky, Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Zoya Akhtar, Ayan Mukerji, Mira Rajput, Shakun Batra and others were recorded at the gathering.

Maninder Singh from Congress, who originally shared the video claiming they took drugs, filed an FIR with the DG from NCB. He had captioned the video 'Udta Bollywood'.

Sirsa took to his Twitter handle and accused the celebrities of taking drugs. He tweeted, "#UDTABollywood - Fiction Vs Reality Watch how the high and mighty of Bollywood proudly flaunt their drugged state!! I raise my voice against #DrugAbuse by these stars. RT if you too feel disgusted @shahidkapoor @deepikapadukone @arjunk26 @Varun_dvn @karanjohar @vickykaushal09"

In his complaint, Singh also mentioned that the Bollywood celebrities took drugs during one of their parties. He has filed a complaint that the video was posted in 2018.

The accusation by Singh created quite a storm on the internet, with many other people pointing out a white content near Vicky Kaushal's lap, his gesture of rubbing his nose and Ayan Mukerji hiding something, as the use of drugs in the party. At various occassions though, Karan Johar questioned if he would put up a video if there were drugs involved, while Vicky had shared that KJo's mother was with them just five minutes before taking the video. Karan had said that what people assumed drugs, was a reflection of light, and that Vicky rubbed his nose because he was recovering from dengue.
