The official stated that Orry did not appear and instead sent his lawyer, who sought time till November 25.

According to officers quoted by Hindustan Times, Shaikh said during interrogation that he had organised lavish parties in Dubai and Mumbai, allegedly attended by several high-profile figures, including Nora Fatehi, Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhant Kapoor, filmmakers Abbas–Mustan, rapper Loka, Orry, and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique. “We have summoned Orry to our office in Ghatkopar on Thursday morning to question him about the matter,” an ANC officer told HT.
