Actor Shekhar Suman who has been strongly advocating for the ‘Justice for Sushant Singh Rajput’ campaign, spoke to Republic TV on Saturday on the Bollywood drug cartel and the 2019 video from a Bollywood party that has been facing the scrutiny of the NCB saying that those responsible for it ‘need to face the brunt of it.’

“There are so many people involved in this and they further have a nexus with peddlers. I am surprised that the video like this was in the public domain for a year now. Why wasn’t any action taken then? It is one year too late. I guess now are looking into the authenticity of the video and then they will get to the bottom of it. What’s the truth behind it,” said Shekhar Suman. 

“Whatever has emerged from this nexus, those arrested, it’s a comment on the fact that how much all of us in the society have taken to drugs. It needs to be tackled asap. As far as the video is concerned, those who uploaded it, need to face the brunt of it. They need to face the music,” said Shekhar Suman.
