A recent incident has sparked controversy and heated discussions online. Bollywood influencer Orry, often seen as a close friend of celebrities, is in trouble after being booked for allegedly consuming alcohol near the sacred Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra.
What Happened?
Orry, along with a group of seven companions, reportedly drank alcohol at a hotel in Katra—the base for thousands of pilgrims visiting the holy Vaishno Devi shrine. This act has drawn immediate criticism because the area around the shrine is meant to be a place of deep spirituality and reverence.
Legal Action and Local Rules
Local authorities were quick to respond. The Jammu and Kashmir police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Orry and his group. According to officials, their actions not only breach local regulations but also disrespect the sentiments of the devotees who visit the shrine.
It’s important to note that the area around Vaishno Devi is under strict regulation. For many years, there has been a ban on the sale, possession, and consumption of alcohol (as well as non-vegetarian food) within a certain distance of the shrine. These rules are in place to maintain the sanctity of the site and ensure that the spiritual atmosphere is preserved for visitors.
Public Outcry and Reactions
Social media erupted with criticism following news of the incident. Many netizens expressed disappointment, arguing that sacred places should be treated with respect. The incident has also caught the attention of political figures, who have called for firm action against those who violate these longstanding local norms.
Looking Ahead
As the investigation continues, the authorities are determined to ensure that the sanctity of Vaishno Devi is upheld. This incident serves as a reminder to all visitors about the importance of respecting local customs and regulations, especially in places considered holy by millions.
