Social media influencer Orry summoned by Mumbai police in Rs 252-crore drug case
Mumbai: Social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has been summoned by the Mumbai Police’s Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) in connection with the high-profile Rs 252-crore drug trafficking and manufacturing case.
The summons follows key revelations made by Mohammed Salim Sohail Shaikh, a drug supplier recently arrested and deported from Dubai. Shaikh is believed to have played a central role in the large-scale mephedrone seizure in Sangli in March 2024, reported Times of India on Thursday.
During his interrogation, Shaikh allegedly revealed that he had organised rave parties both in India and abroad, some of which were reportedly attended by several high-profile Bollywood celebrities. According to a report published by the Hindustan Times, Shaikh's disclosures implicated a number of prominent figures, including the son of Dawood’s deceased sister Haseena Parkar, actors Nora Fatehi, Shraddha Kapoor, and her brother Siddharth Kapoor, as well as filmmakers Abbas-Mustan and rapper Loka. Shaikh also mentioned Orry, who is believed to have attended some of these parties, along with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Zeeshan Siddique.
“We will decide whether to question other celebrities and political leaders mentioned by Shaikh after we question Orry,” HT quoted ANC officer as saying.
Shaikh, a resident of Nagpada in Mumbai, had been living in Dubai for the past three years, where he reportedly coordinated with drug peddlers and arranged supplies of raw materials for drug manufacturing units in several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Rajasthan.
