Shakti Kapoor's son Siddhant tests positive for drugs, detained in Bengaluru

Actor Siddhanth Kapoor, brother of Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, has been detained by Bengaluru Police in a drug case in the city.

A police official told PTI on Monday that veteran actor Shakti Kapoor's son was arrested for allegedly consuming drugs during the rave party on Sunday.

The official also confirmed that the 'Haseena Parkar' star tested positive for drugs in the blood report. He is one among six people to have consumed drugs and is in police custody.


"It is confirmed that 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 Bengaluru Deputy Commissioner of Police (east) Dr Bheemashankar S Guled told PTI reporters.

According to police, Kapoor was partying at a posh five-star hotel on MG Road, which is in the limits of Halasuru police station, when a 25-member team acted on a tip-off and raided the place.

Police said it was unclear whether they had consumed drugs at the hotel or had come to the party after taking drugs outside.

Besides Kapoor, five more people have been arrested, the police sources informed PTI.




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.

In 2020, the 'Ek Billian' star was among those who were questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau in connection with Bollywood late actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case over alleged possession of drugs.

Further investigations are underway.
