{ "title": "Orry, Socialite Influencer, Faces Mumbai Police Questioning in ₹252 Crore Drugs Case", "article": "Orhan Awatramani, a popular socialite and influencer known as Orry, has been summoned by the Mumbai Police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) for questioning in a major drugs case. The case, valued at ₹252 crore, involves a mephedrone-manufacturing facility uncovered in March 2024 on a farm in Maharashtra's Sangli, which allegedly supplied synthetic stimulants to the black market. A massive investigation launched in 2022 led to the arrest of several individuals, including a Nagpada resident in August 2022, and the subsequent bust of the Sangli facility. The probe has revealed a complex network of drug traffickers, including wanted accused Salim Dola and his son Taher, who allegedly used luxury cars and hawala routes to avoid detection. Orry's name surfaced after the deportation and arrest of Mohammad Salim Mohammad Suhail Shaikh, an alleged drug trafficker and aide of fugitive gangster Salim Dola. Shaikh, who was brought back from Dubai on November 5, has made explosive claims during interrogation, including organizing lavish parties in Dubai and Mumbai attended by celebrities and public figures, including Orry. The police have not yet confirmed these allegations, but Orry has been summoned to explain his role in relation to Shaikh's statements. This is not Orry's first brush with the law, as he was previously named in an FIR registered in March 2024 for allegedly consuming alcohol in a hotel near the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir. The investigation is ongoing, with the Mumbai Police seeking to determine whether the celebrity-studded names mentioned during Shaikh's interrogation have any connection to the narcotics operations. Orry's questioning on Thursday is expected to be the first step in this process."
