Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor’s brother Siddhanth Kapoor has now been released on station bail after he was arrested on Monday when his medical reports confirmed his consumption of drugs.
According to the police, the other four people apprehended were also released on station bail. According to Bheema Shankar Gulled, DCP East Bengaluru, Siddhanth Kapoor and the four others would have to appear before the police as and when they are summoned.
Siddhanth Kapoor was arrested earlier in the day by Bengaluru Police for reportedly ingesting drugs at a party in the city on Sunday night.
Bengaluru City Police’s Deputy Commissioner of Police (east) Bheemashankar S Guled said, “Siddhanth Kapoor’s medical shows he had consumed drugs. We have already arrested him and are following the procedure. We will be sending him to judicial custody.”
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a hotel on MG Road in the city on Sunday night where a party was hosted. “Last night we got info that a party is going on and they have consumed drugs. We raided and detained 35 people. We didn’t find any drugs on their person but found MDMA and ganja disposed of nearby. We will investigate CCTV to check who disposed of it,” added DCP Guled.
Medical tests were performed on samples of people suspected of having ingested drugs, and Siddhanth’s sample was one of six that tested positive. It was unclear whether they used drugs at the hotel or came to the party after taking drugs outside, according to police.
“Hotel has been given notice, we have asked specific questions, they will have to answer. Bengaluru city police have declared war on drugs and this was part of it. Earlier in the month, we had conducted a raid, where 34 had tested positive for drugs,” added DCP East.
