Mumbai: Actors Shraddha Kapoor and Nora Fatehi have got relief in a 2022 drugs case, with a recent report stating that their names are likely to be dropped from the supplementary chargesheet.
The duo, along with Siddhant Kapoor, social media personality Orhan Awatramani and politician Zeeshan Siddiqui, were earlier named in the Mumbai drugs supply case involving mephedrone.
However, as per a report in The Indian Express, Mumbai Police have not found any evidence against them.
The Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) has completed its investigation and is expected to file a supplementary chargesheet soon.
The report further stated that the names of Shraddha, Siddhant, Nora, Orry and Zeeshan are likely to be removed from the updated chargesheet.
“An initial chargesheet was filed against three persons, and a supplementary chargesheet will now be filed against two arrested accused and the other wanted accused. We do not have enough evidence to link the celebrities to the case so far,” a source was quoted as saying by the portal.
Orry, who is friends with several Bollywood celebs, reacted strongly.
He took to his Instagram account on Saturday to share a screenshot of the Express article and wrote, “Where are all the click baiting jealous virgins who over sensationalised this and dragged my good name for weeks?”
Mumbai Police arrested alleged drug trafficker Mohammad Salim Mohammad Suhail Shaikh, who claimed to have supplied drugs at rave parties in Mumbai and Dubai attended by celebrities in 2022.
Suhail Shaikh was arrested in 2022 by the Crime Branch and Ghatkopar Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC), which seized mephedrone (MD) worth Rs 1.19 lakh from him.
During questioning, Shaikh allegedly named several public figures and claimed he supplied drugs at parties attended by the son of Haseena Parkar, along with Nora, Shraddha and Siddhant.
Among others he mentioned included filmmaker duo Abbas-Mustan, rapper Loka, social media personality Orhan Awatramani, and politician Zeeshan Siddiqui from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
In 2025, some of these people were questioned by the ANC as part of the investigation.
