Bollywood actor and dancer Nora Fatehi has reacted to the Dawood Ibrahim drug party allegations on social media. Taking to her Instagram account, Fatehi denied her involvement.

Her name cropped up along with several other Bollywood actors and politicians after Mumbai Police’s Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) uncovered a major drug syndicate linked to underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim, reported news agency PTI.

Celebs named in alleged drug party

Not just Nora Fatehi, reportedly, rapper Loka, actress Shraddha Kapoor, socialite Orry and director duo Abbas-Mustan's names cropped up in the alleged drug party. It is said that Zeeshan Siddiqui, who shares a close equation with Salman Khan, was also named in the matter.

The syndicate was allegedly run by the wanted drug lord Salim Dola. The Dawood associate seemingly operated the network from Dubai. If reports are true, he supplied mephedrone (M-Cat or Meow Meow) to multiple Indian states and even smuggled it overseas.

His son, Taher Dola, was extradited from the UAE in August. Reportedly, Taher gave out key information to investigators.

India Today reported Taher claimed that Bollywood actors, models, rappers, filmmakers and even Dawood’s relatives attended drug parties organised by him. Reportedly, these parties were held in India and abroad.

The remand copy mentioned that Taher not only arranged these parties but also supplied drugs at the events.

"The said accused has previously organised drug parties in the country and abroad with Alisha Parkar, Nora Fatehi, Shraddha Kapoor and her brother Siddharth Kapoor, Zishan Siddiqui, Ori alias Orhan, Abbas Mastaan, Loka and many other people and has himself joined in them and is supplying drugs to these and other people," media reports quoted the document saying.
