Shakti Kapoor’s son Siddhant Kapoor was taken into custody by the Bengaluru police on Monday morning due to an alleged drugs controversy. He was arrested by the police after getting caught at a rave party on June 12. The actor, along with five others have been detained as per ANI.

“Siddhanth Kapoor has tested positive for drugs. He has been brought to Ulsoor Police Station,” Dr Bheemashankar S Guled, DCP, East division, Bengaluru City told the outlet. After his arrest, videos from the party surfaced online and one of them saw Siddhant DJing. The police are yet to confirm whether the Jazbaa actor had consumed drugs during the gathering or prior to the event

The Bengaluru police had received a tip, that led them to raid the hotel on MG road where the party was underway. Siddhant had left Mumbai for Bengaluru on June 12 and the incident took place later that night. His family was unaware of his whereabouts and what hotel he was staying at. According to ETimes, upon hearing the news of his son’s arrest, Shakti Kapoor expressed his disbelief. He said, “It’s not possible.”

Back in 2020, actor and sister of Siddhant, Shraddha Kapoor had also been called in for questioning in a drugs case. The case had emerged during the investigation for Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The Aashiqui actor confirmed attending Sushant’s Chhichhore success party but denied the consumption of any drugs.
