The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Thursday issued a noticed to filmmaker Karan Johar seeking details of the 2019 viral video where he is seen partying with top Bollywood celebrities, as part of their investigation in the drugs case. Sources from the NCB said that the notice had been issued based on a written complaint given by former MLA of Shiromani Akali Dal to NCB DG Rakesh Asthana in September this year.

The video, where Johar is seen celebrating along with celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Malaika Arora, Arjun Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal and others, had gone viral in 2019 with people alleging that it was a drug party hosted by the filmmaker. The video surfaced on social media again recently, but the NCB had then refused to conduct an investigation in the matter.
