Shraddha Kapoor and Nora Fatehi Exonerated in 2022 Drug Case, Say Police Findings
Actors Shraddha Kapoor and Nora Fatehi are poised to receive relief in a prominent drug case from 2022, as the Mumbai Police have reportedly found no evidence linking them to the alleged drug network. Alongside them, social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, actor Siddhanth Kapoor, and politician Zeeshan Siddique are also expected to be cleared in the forthcoming supplementary chargesheet. This development marks a significant turn in a case that has attracted considerable media attention due to the involvement of high-profile individuals.
Background of the Case
The investigation stems from an operation conducted by the Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch and Anti-Narcotics Cell in August 2022. During this operation, authorities arrested alleged drug trafficker Mohammad Salim Mohammad Suhail Shaikh, seizing mephedrone valued at approximately Rs 1.19 lakh. Following his arrest, Shaikh claimed to have supplied drugs at various parties attended by numerous public figures, which led to a broader investigation and the mention of several names, including those of Kapoor and Fatehi.
In 2025, both actors were questioned by the Anti-Narcotics Cell as part of the ongoing investigation. However, recent reports indicate that investigators have not uncovered any substantial evidence linking them to the drug supply network. This lack of evidence has prompted the police to prepare a supplementary chargesheet, which will focus on the individuals directly involved in the drug trafficking activities.
Police Findings and Investigation Progress
According to sources familiar with the investigation, the police have concluded their inquiries and are set to file a supplementary chargesheet. An initial chargesheet had already been submitted against three individuals, and the new document will address two arrested suspects and others still wanted. A source stated, “We do not have enough evidence to link the celebrities to the case so far.” This statement underscores the police’s determination to clarify the situation surrounding the high-profile names involved.
The case has generated significant public interest, particularly due to the celebrity connections. As the investigation continues against those directly linked to the drug supply chain, the absence of evidence against Kapoor and Fatehi has led to their names being removed from further legal proceedings. This development is likely to alleviate concerns for the actors and their fans.
Reactions from Involved Parties
In light of the recent updates, Orhan Awatramani took to social media to express his thoughts on the situation. He shared a screenshot of a news report regarding the case and questioned those who had sensationalized the allegations against him. His post read, “Where are all the clickbaiting jealous virgins who oversensationalised this and dragged my good name for weeks?” This reaction highlights the frustration felt by those who were publicly implicated during the initial stages of the investigation.
As the case progresses, it remains to be seen how the remaining accused will respond to the ongoing investigation. The clarity brought by the police’s findings may serve to restore the reputations of those previously linked to the case, while the focus shifts back to the individuals directly involved in the drug supply operations.
