Bengaluru:
The brother of Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhanth Kapoor, has now been released on bail after he was arrested Monday when his medical reports confirmed his drug use.
The other four arrested have also been released on bail, according to police.
Siddhanth Kapoor and the four others will further have to appear before the police if and when called, said Bheema Shankar Gulled, DCP East Bengaluru.
Siddhanth Kapoor was arrested earlier in the day by the Bengal police for allegedly consuming drugs at a party in the city on Sunday night.
Bengaluru City Police Deputy Commissioner (East) Bheemashankar S Guled said: “The medical examinations of Siddhanth Kapoor show that he had used drugs. We have already arrested him and are following the procedure. We will send him to judicial custody. “
On Sunday night, following a tip, police raided a hotel on MG Road in the city where a party was being held.
“Last night we received information that there is a party going on and that they have been using drugs. We robbed and detained 35 people. We did not find any drugs on them, but found MDMA and ganja nearby. We will investigate CCTV surveillance to check who threw it away,” DCP Guled added.
Samples from people suspected of taking drugs were sent in for medical testing and Siddhanth’s sample was one of six that came back positive. Police said it was unclear whether they had taken drugs inside the hotel or had come to the party after taking drugs outside.
“The hotel has been notified, we have asked specific questions, they will have to answer them. The Bengaluru city police have declared war on drugs and this was part of that. Earlier this month we had raided 34 had tested positive for drugs,” DCP East added.
