Bollywood Influencer Orry Questioned in Major Drug Bust
Orhan Awatramani, the Bollywood socialite popularly known as Orry, appeared before the Mumbai Police on Wednesday to provide his official statement regarding a massive drug seizure case. The high-profile influencer arrived at the Ghatkopar unit of the Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC) around 1:30 PM, complying with police summons after previously requesting additional time to appear.
Connection to ₹252 Crore Mephedrone Seizure
According to official sources, Orry's name emerged during the interrogation of Mohammed Salim Mohammed Suhail Shaikh, a key accused in the staggering ₹252 crore mephedrone seizure case. Shaikh, who earned the nickname 'Lavish' due to his extravagant lifestyle, was deported from Dubai last month and subsequently arrested.
Police investigations reveal that Shaikh allegedly organized rave parties both within India and internationally for various high-profile individuals. These parties reportedly attracted film celebrities, fashion industry personalities, a politician, and even a relative of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim. Orry was among the names specifically mentioned by Shaikh during police questioning.
The Larger Drug Network Uncovered
The case originated from the discovery of a clandestine drug manufacturing facility in Maharashtra's Sangli district, where authorities seized mephedrone worth an astonishing ₹252 crore. Shaikh was identified as a close associate of Salim Dola, who police believe oversaw the manufacturing and nationwide distribution network of the synthetic drug.
This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing investigation, bringing a prominent Bollywood figure under official scrutiny. The Anti Narcotics Cell continues to pursue all leads in what authorities describe as one of the largest drug busts in recent memory.
This remains a developing story, with further updates expected as the investigation progresses.
