ANC busts major drug syndicate linked to Dawood Ibrahim, with names of several Bollywood celebrities emerging.
Nora Fatehi denies allegations, calling reports “lies” and accusing media of using her name for clickbait.
She emphasized that her work-focused lifestyle leaves no room for any association with the accused individuals.
In an ongoing probe linked to drug lord Dawood Ibrahim’s drug syndicate, names of major Bollywood stars have surfaced. Mumbai Police’s Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) has unearthed a major drug network with alleged connections to Dawood.
According to an India Today report, the names of prominent Bollywood figures such as Shraddha Kapoor, Nora Fatehi, director duo Abbas–Mustan, and others have emerged during the investigation.
Actor Nora Fatehi reacted to the allegations through her social media, debunking all rumours and headlines linking her to the reported drug syndicate. On November 16, 2025, she took to Instagram to state that the reports mentioning her name were “lies.”

She wrote about her busy schedule and how her daily life revolves around work. “I’m constantly on flights… I’m a workaholic. I don't have a personal life… I don't associate myself with people like that,” Nora stated.
She explained that her leisure time is mostly spent on beaches or with her high school friends. The actor urged her fans not to believe reports using her name, saying, “It seems like my name is an easy target!”
She further cautioned media outlets against using her name and image for clickbait. “It happened once before—you guys tried to destroy me with LIES, and it didn’t work. I watched silently as everyone tried their best to slander my name, smear my reputation, and use me as clickbait!” Nora added.
Other reported names include actress Shraddha Kapoor, Nora Fatehi, director duo Abbas–Mustan, influencer Orry, and several others. Reports suggest that the syndicate busted by the ANC was allegedly run by wanted criminal and drug lord Salim Dola, who is believed to have operated the network from abroad. Dola has allegedly been involved in distributing drugs like Mephedrone (M-Cat) across multiple states and even internationally.

Salim Dola’s son, Taher Dola was extradited in August 2025 from UAE. He has reportedly revealed significant details during interrogation. Taher has claimed that many rappers, actors, directors, and even relatives of Dawood attended the drug parties he organised.
Mohammad Salim Mohammad Suhail Shaikh, who is an alleged close confidant of Salim Dola, has also come under the light in this recent probe. The remand papers submitted by the ANC before the Esplanade Court on 20 November, 2025 have put Shaikh under fire. According to the papers, Shaikh had hosted parties that were also attended by Alishah Parkar, son of the late Haseena Parkar.
Among the high-profile names, actress Shraddha Kapoor and her brother Siddhanth Kapoor have also been mentioned. The duo previously starred in the 2017 film Haseena Parkar, where they portrayed Dawood Ibrahim and his sister Haseena Parkar. Mumbai Police is expected to summon all the prominent individuals for further investigation.
