Remember that unnecessarily controversial video from last year that was taken during a party at Karan Johar’s place? No, not that one. The other one. The one where people on the internet thought Vicky Kaushal was doing coke? Yeah, that one.
Anyway, former Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa has raked up the controversy yet again and filed a complaint with the Narcotics Control Bureau asking the agency to investigate what really went down during the alleged ‘drug party’.
“I met Sh. Rakesh Asthana, Chief of @narcoticsbureauat BSF headquarter, Delhi regarding submission of complaint for investigation & action against film Producer @karanjohar & others for organizing drug party at his residence in Mumbai That party video must be investigated into!” Sirsa tweeted, sharing his letter to NCB chief Rakesh Asthana.

The politician wants the NCB to investigate actors Deepika Padukone, Vicky Kaushal, Malaika Arora, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Shahid Kapoor for consumption, possession, and allowing premises to be used for commission of offenses. It, of course, doesn’t matter to the politician that the video doesn’t show any of the participants consuming any drugs.
“There were achieving members of the industry who were having an easy night out after a hard week of work, having a good time. I took that video with all the earnestness… would I be putting out that video if there was anything happening at all, I am not stupid,” Johar had earlier clarified regarding the controversial video in an interview with Rajeev Masand.
