Published

on

Kannada actress Ranya Rao, who is the stepdaughter of DGP Dr. K Ramachandra Rao, was apprehended by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) for her alleged involvement in gold smuggling from Dubai. Recognized for her performances in films such as ‘Maanikya’ and ‘Pataki,’ she was arrested upon her arrival at Kempegowda International Airport (KIAD) in Bengaluru on the evening of March 3.

Reports indicate that the DRI acted on intelligence regarding Ranya Rao’s potential connection to gold smuggling activities. Following her flight’s arrival around 7 PM, officials took her into custody and seized 14.8 kg of gold from her belongings. This significant amount has sparked concerns about a possible larger smuggling operation, prompting an ongoing investigation to uncover further details.

In response to her arrest, BJP MLA Dr. Bharath Shetty remarked, “If these allegations are accurate, and police officials are implicated, it represents a gross abuse of power. The government must act decisively in this matter.”

However, the Karnataka government emphasized that justice will prevail, regardless of Ranya’s familial connections to an IPS officer. Congress MLA and Legal Advisor to the Chief Minister of Karnataka, AS Ponnanna, stated, “She is accused of smuggling. The law will take its course, whether she is the daughter of the DGP, the Chief Minister, or the Prime Minister. If there is any official involvement, it will be revealed in the investigation.”
