Karan Johar’s controversial 2019 party video gets a clean chit from NCB

The drug angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput case being investigated by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) got hold of many big Bollywood celebrities. A video from a party hosted by Karan Johar in 2019 went viral during the NCB investigations. Alleged to be a drug party, it has now received a clean chit from the central agency. 

According to a report, the officials at Forensic Science Laboratory have given a clean chit to this controversial party video which was recorded at the filmmaker’s home. The sources also say that the reports have revealed about the white line seen in the video is simply a reflection of the tube light.

Earlier, Karan Johar clarified about the viral video on his social media handle and said that nor does he take drugs neither does he encourages his consumption. The message he posted read, “Certain news channels, print/ electronic media and social media platform(s) are wrongly and misleadingly reporting that narcotics were consumed at a party that I, Karan Johar hosted on July 28, 2019 at my residence. I had already clarified my position way back in 2019 that the allegations were false. In view of the current malicious campaign, I am reiterating that the allegations are completely baseless and false. No narcotics substance was consumed in the party. I WOULD LIKE TO UNEQUIVOCALLY ONCE AGAIN STATE THAT I DO NOT CONSUME NARCOTICS AND I DO NOT PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE CONSUMPTION OF ANY SUCH SUBSTANCE.”
