As per the latest reports, Bollywood filmmaker and producer Karan Johar has been summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) in the ongoing drug.
The NCB has reportedly sought details of the parties organised by Karan Johar and asked him to submit responses and produce documents/electronic evidence, with regard to the video in circulation.
Karan Johar was sent summons to appear before the agency for questioning.
The filmmaker was in the news after it was suspected that drugs were being consumed at one of his house parties attended by A-list Bollywood celebrities in 2019.
The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) later ruled out the use of drugs after inspecting the viral video from the party.
In September this year, Karan Johar had released a statement clarifying his stand on the house party video.
He released a statement saying, "Certain news channels, print/ electronic media and social media platform(s) are wrongly and misleadingly reporting that narcotics were consumed at a party that I, Karan Johar hosted on July 28, 2019 at my residence.
I had already clarified my position way back in 2019 that the allegations were false. In view of the current malicious campaign, I am reiterating that the allegations are completely baseless and false. No narcotics substance was consumed in the party.
I WOULD LIKE TO UNEQUIVOCALLY ONCE AGAIN STATE THAT I DO NOT CONSUME NARCOTICS AND I DO NOT PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE CONSUMPTION OF ANY SUCH SUBSTANCE," he wrote in the statement.
