Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has been booked by the Jammu and Kashmir Police. He and seven others are accused of allegedly consuming alcohol near the Vaishno Devi shrine.

The Cottage Suite area in Katra, where the alleged incident took place, is governed by strict rules. These rules prohibit alcohol and meat consumption due to its proximity to the Vaishno Devi temple.
