Karan Johar was questioned by media at the Goa Airport about the drug conspiracy in Bollywood. However, the filmmaker-producer chose to remain silent as he dodged all the questions directed at him.
Karan Johar’s party video under the scanner
A year ago, Karan had posted a video on his social media which instantly went viral. The video was from a party held at his residence. The party was attended by Bollywood’s A-listers and in the video, most of the celebrities looked slightly abnormal. Also, a few users pointed out a white pattern behind Vicky Kaushal in the video, and soon this was linked to the drug case. A few users argued that it was a mere reflection of light.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa lodged a formal complaint with NCB that drug consumption had happened at this party. The authority took note of the complaint and conducted a forensic investigation of the video. The results of the same and further steps by the authority are likely to arrive in the coming weeks.

Karan Johar puts out his official statement
On Friday, after a long period of silence, Karan Johar put out his official statement on social media. In a lengthy statement, Karan explained his stance in the issue.
He reiterated that there was no drug consumption at the party held at his residence. He said that he does not consume drugs and also does not encourage consumption of the same by others.
There are widespread reports in the media that Kshitji Prasad and Anubhav Chopra are closely associated with Karan. Both these individuals now have their names involved deep in the drug conspiracy. Karan confirmed that he does not know either of the two individuals. While they were associated with Dharma Productions in the past, neither are currently linked to the company.
Karan was yet again questioned about the same by the media at the Goa Aiport. The filmmaker was on his way back to Mumbai. However, he remained silent and did not answer to any of the questions.
