Mumbai Police's Anti Narcotics Cell has found no evidence linking Bollywood actors Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhant Kapoor, Nora Fatehi, influencer Orry, and politician Zeeshan Siddique to the 2022 Mumbai drug supply case involving mephedrone. While their names appeared in earlier remand reports and some were questioned, the supplementary chargesheet expected next week will focus on arrested and wanted accused, following renewed investigation after a key suspect's deportation from Dubai in 2024.
