Actor-DJ Siddhant Kapoor was among the six who were detained by the Bengaluru Police late at night on Sunday, 12 June, for allegedly consuming drugs.
According to the police, many including Siddhanth were partying at a hotel located on MG Road in Bengaluru when they conducted a raid following a tipoff.
The cops are still unclear if the drugs were consumed before or after those detained arrived at the venue.
They have filed a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act in this regard.
Meanwhile, his father, actor Shakti Kapoor, reacted to the news by claiming that “it’s not possible,” saying that he is finding it hard to believe that his son was detained by the cops.
Siddhanth Kapoor is the elder brother of actor Shraddha Kapoor and the son of veteran actor Shakti Kapoor.
He is also the nephew of actor Padmini Kolhapure.
Kapoor is an actor and assistant director who has worked in several Bollywood films.
Apart from films, Siddhant is also a DJ.
Siddhant started his career by working as an Assistant Director for director Priyadarshan. He worked on several films including Bhool Bhulaiya, Bhagam Bhag, Chup Chup Ke and Dhol.
His first acting role was as a child artist in Salman Khan’s 1997 film Judwaa.
He has been seen in roles of varying lengths in films such as Haseena Parkar, a biopic of gangster-turned-terrorist Dawood Ibrahim’s sister. Shraddha played the titular role.
He played a small role in the Anurag Kashyap-directed 2013 film Ugly, which also starred Kolhapure. He was also one of the assistant directors in the film.
His other acting credits include the gangster film Shootout at Wadala, and the JP Dutta-directed war movie Paltan.
He was also seen in web series and music videos.
Kapoor was last seen in the thriller Chehre last year.
Several actors and celebrities have been accused of the consumption of drugs in the past by the Narcotics Control Bureau.
In 2020, Shraddha Kapoor was questioned by the Mumbai Police as they probed a drug angle in the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan’s eldest son Aryan Khan was in jail nearly for a month in the Mumbai cruise ship drug case before he was released on bail. He was recently given a clean chit by the NCB in the case.
