Bollywood socialite Orhan Awatramani, known as Orry, has been booked by the Jammu and Kashmir Police for allegedly consuming alcohol near the Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra. Alongside seven others, Orry is accused of violating religious norms and local laws at one of Hinduism’s holiest pilgrimage sites.
An FIR has been registered against the group for consuming alcohol in a prohibited area. A news agency reported on Monday, “As per police, FIR was registered against eight people, including socialite influencer Orhan Awatramani aka Orry, for allegedly consuming alcohol in a hotel located in Katra.”
According to a media report, the accused include Russian national Anastasila Arzamaskina, who was among those accompanying Orry.

The group has been charged with violating an official order from the District Magistrate and allegedly offending religious sentiments by consuming alcohol in an area where such activities are strictly banned.
The Cottage Suit area of Katra, where the incident reportedly took place, is under strict regulation prohibiting the consumption of non-vegetarian food and intoxicants due to its proximity to the revered Vaishno Devi shrine.
A senior official from Reasi Police said that a special team has been formed to investigate the matter.
“A special team, under the supervision of SP Katra, Dy SP Katra, and SHO Katra, was formed to investigate the matter. Notices will be sent to all accused individuals, including Orry, instructing them to join the probe,” the official stated.
The official further emphasised that strict action will be taken against anyone violating laws at religious sites. “SSP Reasi has reiterated that anyone violating the law, especially by indulging in activities like alcohol or drug consumption at religious sites, will be dealt with strictly,” the official said.
