Orry Skips Police Summons in ₹252 Crore Drug Case
In recent developments, Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has made headlines by failing to show up for a scheduled questioning by the Mumbai Police. This questioning is part of a significant drug case involving a staggering ₹252 crore, linked to the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC). The absence of such a prominent socialite raises eyebrows, especially in a country where Bollywood and drug controversies often intertwine.
Orry was summoned following allegations from Mohammad Salim, a drug trafficker recently deported from Dubai. Salim claimed that he had organized lavish parties attended by several high-profile personalities, including celebrities like Nora Fatehi and Shraddha Kapoor, and even connections to notorious figures like Dawood Ibrahim. These claims not only spotlight Orry but also bring to the forefront the darker side of celebrity culture in India.
Instead of appearing in person, Orry opted to send his lawyer to request an extension until November 25. This decision has sparked a flurry of discussions about accountability among public figures, especially in light of the serious nature of the allegations. The police have made it clear that they expect Orry to cooperate fully with their investigation.
The case traces back to March 2024, when authorities seized an enormous quantity of mephedrone, commonly referred to as MD, from a manufacturing facility in Sangli. The seizure amounted to 126.14 kg, valued at around ₹252 crore. This incident has raised concerns about the extent of drug trafficking operations within India and their connections to high-profile events.
Orry, who has established himself as a lifestyle influencer and socialite within Bollywood circles, has so far remained silent on the allegations and the summons. His recent appearance at Travis Scott's concert in Mumbai just before the summons adds a layer of intrigue to the unfolding story.
As the investigation continues, the Mumbai Police are emphasizing the importance of addressing drug-related issues that plague the entertainment industry. The outcomes of this case could have far-reaching implications not only for those directly involved but also for the larger narrative surrounding celebrity culture and its influence on society.
