For
the
past
year
and
a
half,
eminent
personalities
of
Bollywood
faced
false
accusations
through
social
media.
It
was
in
2019
that
Karan
Johar
had
posted
a
video
on
his
official
Instagram
handle,
where
he
was
seen
partying
with
some
of
the
A-listers
of
Bollywood
at
his
house.
However,
the
video
went
viral
for
all
the
wrong
reasons.
Karan
and
his
friends
faced
several
allegations
for
consuming
drugs
at
that
party.
While
the
filmmaker
had
already
clarified
that
no
one
at
his
party
consumed
any
illegal
substance,
the
video
went
viral
again
in
2020,
after
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
started
investigating
an
alleged
drug
case
in
Bollywood
post
the
demise
of
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
According
to
a
report,
Forensic
Science
Laboratory
(FSL)
has
given
a
clean
chit
to
filmmaker-director
Karan
Johar's
house
party
video.
The
officials
have
stated
that
the
white
line
appearing
in
the
video
is
merely
a
reflection
of
the
tube
light,
no
drug
has
been
confirmed
in
the
forensic
report
and
there
has
been
no
evidence
of
film
stars
consuming
drugs
at
the
party.
The
FSL
further
stated
that
no
drugs
or
any
harmful
and
illegal
substances
were
found
post
inspecting
the
video.
In
September
2020,
Karan
Johar
had
released
a
statement
clarifying
his
stand
on
the
house
party
video.
He
wrote
in
a
statement,
"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."
