Shraddha Kapoor's brother Siddhanth Kapoor detained for drug use: Police

Bengaluru Police detained actor Shraddha Kapoor's brother Siddhanth Kapoor for alleged drug consumption at a party on Sunday night (June 12). According to police, the rave party was on at a posh hotel on the MG Road when a team raided the place and arrested them.

'It is confirmed that Bollywood actor Shakti Kapoor's son Siddhant Kapoor took drugs. He tested positive for taking drugs in the blood test report. Hence, he has been brought to Ulsoor police station,' the Deputy Commissioner of Police Dr Bheemashankar S Guled told reporters.

Besides Siddhanth, five more people have been arrested, sources in the police said.

In an interview with ETimes, Shakti Kapoor reacted to his son's involvement in the drugs case and said it was not possible.

In 2020, the police had unearthed drug abuse in a section of Kannada film industry in 2020. They had then arrested actors Ragini Dwivedi and Sanjjanaa Galrani and former minister late Jeevaraj Alva's son Aditya Alva.

Shraddha Kapoor was among those questioned by Narcotics Control Bureau in Sushant Singh Rajput's death over alleged drug possession. However, nothing was proved.

Siddhant Kapoor has featured in films such as 'Jazbaa,' 'Haseena Parkar,' and 'Chehre.' He has also worked as an assistant director on films like 'Bhagam Bhag,' 'Chup Chup Ke,' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa.'
