The Jammu and Kashmir Police have filed a complaint against social media personality Orhan Awatraman, popularly known as Orry, and seven others for consuming alcohol near the Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra. Among those booked is Russian national Anastasila Arzamaskina. The group is accused of violating the District Magistrate’s regulations and disrespecting religious sentiments.
Violation of Prohibitions in Katra
Orry and his friends allegedly consumed alcohol inside their hotel premises in the Cottage Suite area of Katra. This location falls under strict regulations that prohibit alcohol and non-vegetarian food due to its proximity to the revered Vaishno Devi shrine, a significant Hindu pilgrimage site.
As a result, the group has been charged under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which addresses violations of public order and religious sanctity.
Who Was Involved?
The complaint includes several individuals who were present with Orry during the incident. The accused include:
- Darshan Singh
- Parth Raina
- Ritick Singh
- Rashi Dutta
- Rakshita Bhogal
- Shagun Kohli
- Anastasila Arzamaskina (Russian national)
Police Investigations and Official Response
Following public outrage and a formal complaint, SSP Reasi Paramvir Singh directed strict action against the accused. Authorities emphasized a zero-tolerance policy for any actions that disrupt the sanctity of religious places.
Mata Vaishno Devi is a revered pilgrimage site, not a place for partying.
