Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor’s brother, actor Siddhanth Kapoor, has been summoned by the Mumbai Crime Branch’s Anti-Narcotics Cell in connection with a Rs 252 crore drug case.
Interrogation Details
Siddhanth’s name came up during the questioning of Mohammed Salim Mohammed Suhail Shaikh, a key accused in the Rs 252 crore mephedrone seizure. The actor has been asked to appear for questioning at the Ghatkopar unit on Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
Understanding Mephedrone
Mephedrone, or 4-methylephedrone, is a prohibited psychotropic substance that was officially notified under the NDPS Act in February 2015.
Previous Incidents
This is not Siddhanth’s first encounter with drug-related issues. In June 2022, he was arrested in Bengaluru after testing positive for MDMA (ecstasy) and marijuana following a hotel party raid. He was booked under Sections 22A, 22B, and 27B of the NDPS Act. Siddhanth claimed that his drinks and cigarettes had been laced with drugs without his knowledge. He was later released on station bail, as police classified the incident as a consumption case rather than a commercial trafficking case.
Denial of Allegations
Siddhanth has denied any significant involvement in trafficking, and his father, Shakti Kapoor, has publicly refuted the allegations.
Orry’s Summons
In addition, social media influencer Orry has received a second summons, requiring him to appear at the ANC Ghatkopar unit on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, to record his statement in connection with the case.
Orry, whose real name is Orhan Awatramani, has become a pop-culture phenomenon without claiming a conventional profession. He is friends with many new-generation Bollywood actors and is known for his vibrant social media presence. Positioned between a socialite, influencer, and Gen-Z performance artist, Orry has built a persona characterized by his visibility, connections, and unapologetic flamboyance. He is the son of Suraj K. Awatramani, a businessman involved in real estate, hospitality, and beverage manufacturing.
