Social media influencer Orry has been summoned by the Mumbai Police in connection with a massive Rs 252 crore drug case.
As per ANI reports, the popular internet personality has been directed to appear before the Anti-Narcotics Cell’s Ghatkopar unit at 10:00 am on Thursday. He is expected to be questioned regarding his possible links to the case and any information he may have about the ongoing investigation.
The case began in March 2024 when a large-scale mephedrone manufacturing facility operating on a farm in Sangli district was discovered by Mumbai Police. Officers found 126.14 kg of mephedrone, also known as "MD," during the raid. The drug is estimated to be worth Rs 252 crore.
Mohammed Salim Mohammed Suhail Shaikh, who had recently been deported from Dubai, was taken into custody by the police after the discovery. Shaikh acknowledged during questioning that he frequently threw rave parties for famous people and celebrities both domestically and overseas.
This incident marks the second time Orry has found himself caught in a controversy involving substance use.
He and seven other people were previously arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police for allegedly drinking alcohol inside a hotel in Katra, close to the Vaishno Devi shrine, an area where it is strictly forbidden.
