How Orry’s Name Emerged in the Dawood-Linked Drug Racket
According to investigative officials, the ANC zeroed in on Orry after questioning Mohammad Salim Mohammad Suhail Shaikh, a high-profile trafficker deported from the UAE and arrested on November 5. Shaikh reportedly admitted to organising extravagant rave parties in Mumbai and Dubai. These events allegedly drew Bollywood stars, political figures, and individuals linked to the Dawood Ibrahim network.
During interrogation, Shaikh claimed that several well-known personalities attended these parties, including:
Orry (Orhan Awatramani)
Nora Fatehi
Shraddha Kapoor and her brother Siddharth Kapoor
Filmmaker duo Abbas–Mustan
Rapper Loka
NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique
A relative of Dawood Ibrahim, the son of Haseena Parkar
Investigators emphasize that all of these statements are still unverified, and no conclusions have been drawn about the involvement of any celebrity or political figure.
Orry’s Response and ANC’s Next Steps
Representatives for Orry appeared before ANC officials on Thursday, informing them that the influencer is currently outside Mumbai. They assured investigators that Orry will be available for questioning after November 25, at which point the ANC is expected to formally summon him.
This step will mark the beginning of the ANC’s process to verify Shaikh’s claims and determine whether further inquiry into celebrities or political names is required.
The Drug Racket Case: From 2022 to 2024
The origins of this high-profile investigation date back to August 2022, when police arrested Mohammad Shahrukh Mohammad Shafi Shaikh in Nagpada and recovered mephedrone worth ₹1.19 lakh. This arrest triggered a series of breakthroughs, ultimately leading to an expansive network linked to Dawood’s associates.
Major Breakthrough in Sangli
In March 2024, investigators busted a large mephedrone manufacturing unit in Sangli district. Authorities allege that the facility was operated by Salim Dola, along with:
His son Tahe, deported in June
His relative Mustaffa Mohammad Khubbawala, deported in July
This discovery opened the door to identifying a wider syndicate responsible for producing and distributing multiple narcotics.
Shaikh’s Revelations: Multiple Drug Manufacturing Facilities
During his interrogation, the recently arrested Salim Shaikh confessed to establishing several drug manufacturing units. He also admitted to running supply chains involving cocaine, MDMA, hashish, charas, and mephedrone.
These revelations have significantly expanded the scope of the probe, pushing investigators to trace financial flows, supply routes, and connections between alleged attendees of the rave parties and the broader drug network.
Will Other Celebrities Be Summoned?
The ANC has made it clear that Orry will be questioned first, based solely on Shaikh’s statements. Only after evaluating his testimony and cross-checking information will officers decide whether additional celebrities or political individuals need to be summoned.
The agency is expected to proceed systematically, verifying each claim before taking any further action.
Conclusion: A Case That May Rock Bollywood and Political Circles
As the investigation intensifies, all eyes are on the ANC’s next move. With Orry set for questioning after November 25, this case has the potential to uncover deeper links between the underworld and high-profile social circles spanning Bollywood, politics, and international party circuits.
The probe remains ongoing, and officials emphasize that no individual has been formally charged based solely on Shaikh’s statements. The coming weeks will determine whether these claims evolve into confirmed evidence or remain unverified allegations surrounding one of the most explosive drug racket investigations in recent years.
