“Sensing the gravity of the matter, strict instructions were passed by SSP Reasi, Paramvir Singh, to nab the defaulters, thereby setting an example of no tolerance of any such act of drugs or alcohol at religious places, which hurts the sentiments of the common masses.”

As per the Police press release, “a team was constituted under the supervision of SP Katra, Dy SP Katra and SHO Katra to track the culprits who violated the rule of the land and showed disrespect to the sentiments of the people connected with the faith”.

“SSP Reasi, while giving a tough message to the defaulters, added that there is no place for those who don’t follow the law of the land and try to disrupt the peace by resorting to any means, especially by way of drugs/alcohol, and they will be dealt with by iron hand”, the press release added.

Orry recently posted a video on his Instagram, showing him partying with friends. In the video, alcohol bottles are visible on the table, and Orry is seen flaunting his phone cover, seemingly enjoying himself with his friends.
