In a major breakthrough in the ₹252-crore drug manufacturing and trafficking case, the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Mumbai Police has summoned popular social media influencer Orry (Orhan Awatramani) for questioning. The summons follows explosive disclosures by arrested drug supplier Mohammed Salim Sohail Shaikh, alias Lavish, who has emerged as a crucial link in the multi-s
tate narcotics network.

‘Lavish’ deported from Dubai; alleges participation of Bollywood celebrities

Shaikh, recently deported from Dubai for his suspected involvement in the massive mephedrone seizure in Sangli in March 2024, reportedly told investigators that he organised high-profile rave parties in India and overseas, claiming that several Bollywood celebrities attended these events.

According to police, Shaikh had been staying in Dubai for the past three years and was allegedly coordinating raw material procurement, supply chains, and financial movements for drug manufacturing units across Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Rajasthan.

₹252-crore mephedrone racket under probe

Officials believe Shaikh was connected to the illegal drug production units dismantled in the Sangli raid. The seized mephedrone, financial trails, and associated transactions are valued at nearly ₹252 crore, making it one of the largest busts in Maharashtra in recent years.

The ANC is now widening the investigation, scrutinising digital evidence, money trails, and communication networks linked to the accused.

Orry summoned for routine questioning, say police

Authorities stress that the summons to Orry does not imply guilt, but is part of the ongoing process to question individuals named during interrogation. Orry will be required to clarify his connection, if any, with the accused or the activities mentioned by Shaikh.

More high-profile names likely to come under ANC scrutiny

Sources suggest that as investigators analyse electronic devices, chats, travel histories, and financial data, more notable personalities could be questioned. Officials say that additional summons may be issued as the probe progresses.
