Influencer Orry Asked to Appear Before Mumbai Police in 252 Crore Narcotics Probe

Orry’s Name Surfaced After the Deportation and Arrest of Mohammad Suhail Shaikh, an Alleged Drug Trafficker

In a major development, Mumbai Police have issued a summons to influencer Orry in the Rs. 252-crore drugs case. The investigation has expanded significantly, with officers now tracing financial links, communications, and individuals reportedly tied to the network.

Orry Drug Case

Orry, whose real name is Orhan Awatramani, has been asked to appear before the Anti-Narcotics Cell’s Ghatkopar unit for questioning. 

The case is linked to March 2024, when the police seized 126.14 kg of mephedrone, commonly known as ‘MD’, valued at around 252 crore at a mephedrone-manufacturing facility on a farm in Sangli district.

The police arrested Mohammed Salim Mohammed Suhail Shaikh after he was deported from Dubai last month. Shaikh confessed to Mumbai Police that he organised rave parties across India and abroad for celebrities and politicians. He has also made a series of explosive claims during interrogation.

252 Crore Drug Case: Shocking Reveal

The officials realised that the Sangli unit was part of a much larger network as the probe widened. Shaikh is a close aide of fugitive drug kingpin Salim Dola, who is a key member of the Dawood Ibrahim gang. 

The Anti-Narcotics Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch said that the lavish parties organised by Shaikh were allegedly attended by Dawood Ibrahim’s deceased sister Haseena Parkar’s son Alishah, actors Nora Fatehi, Shraddha Kapoor and her brother Siddharth Kapoor.

The police, in their remand application before a Mumbai court, also stated that film producers Abbas-Mustan, along with a few other celebrities, including rapper Loka, Orry, and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique, were allegedly present at the parties.

Investigators revealed that the facility was controlled by wanted drug trafficker Salim Dola and his son Taher. They received raw materials through a Surat-based associate.

According to the police, drugs were transported in luxury cars such as Mercedes and BMWs to avoid suspicion. The profits were channelled overseas via hawala routes.

This operational web began revealing shocking details after the arrest of a Nagpada resident in August 2022. This led to multiple linked arrests and finally the factory bust in March 2024.

Orry's Previous Encounter with Police

Orry was named in an FIR registered by the Katra police in Jammu and Kashmir. He allegedly consumed alcohol in a hotel near the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in March 2024. 

According to the police, Orry and several others violated the religious norms of the area despite being warned.

Orry’s questioning is expected to be the first step in determining whether the celebrities mentioned during Shaikh’s interrogation have any connection to the narcotics operations.
