Hi Aviral,

In formal English you would probably use the second version:
"I hope you don't mind my dropping in like this."
(Which means that the action of dropping in was yours = you did it.)

However, in informal English, it is very common to hear the first version:
"I hope you don't mind me dropping in like this."
