Siddhanth Kapoor claims he was offered drug-laced drinks and cigarettes
On Sunday, 12th June, Karnataka Police arrested Siddhanth Kapoor, the son of veteran Bollywood actor Shakti Kapoor and brother of actress Shraddha Kapoor, while partying at a five-star hotel inside the Halasuru police station's area. After receiving a tip, police conducted a surprise raid and arrested 35 people, including Siddanth, for drug consumption.
Siddhanth Kapoor appeared in front of the police on Tuesday after medical tests revealed he had consumed cocaine. During questioning, he admitted that someone had given him drugged drinks and cigarettes. He also stated to the investigators that he was unaware of the drugs.
DCP (East) Bhimashankar Guled was reported saying, "Siddhanth Kapoor claimed that drugs were mixed in his drinks and he didn't know about it. He told the police that he had been in Bengaluru many times to attend parties as a DJ. This was the fourth time that he went to the hotel from where he was arrested. We have got the guest list and suspicious persons will be called for questioning."
The police have taken Siddhanth's phone as well as the phones of four other suspects and are sending them for data retrieval. Officials are also looking into the possibility of drug trafficking. Notices were addressed to the owner of the fancy hotel and the organisers of the rave party. Representatives from the event management company have also been summoned for questioning.
