Shatrughan Sinha’s son Luv Sinha has become the latest celebrity to comment on the detainment of veteran actor Shakti Kapoor's son Siddhanth Kapoor for allegedly consuming drugs at a party in Bengaluru.

Luv, took to Twitter, and in a thread wrote, "I won't comment #SiddhanthKapoor but I would like to know that if our respected officials are as efficient as they would like us to believe then how is drug use rampant amongst the elite, the underprivileged, the youth, and so easy to buy.”

Blaming the authorities for “selectively highlighting the arrest of an individual” to show that they are “doing their jobs instead of actually doing it,” he added, “I’m against the consumption of drugs, but until the rot in the justice system has been cleaned up things won’t improve.”

Luv also stressed on the arrest of the producers and dealers of drugs rather than just the users who “may get addicted to a substance which can affect their lives negatively.”

Siddhanth was detained for allegedly consuming drugs at a party in a hotel at MG Road. Samples of people suspected of consuming drugs were sent for medical tests. Siddhant is among six people whose samples came positive. Shakti also commented on the matter and said that he still needs to speak to his son and the news “cannot be true.”
