Ranya Rao, a kannada actress who was arrested on suspicion of smuggling gold, used to conceal the metal in clothing and belts. She had prepared a unique jacket for this. Officers looking into the matter claim that Ranya used her father's name, DGP, to avoid suspicion. She used to contact the cops to come get her and take her from the airport to her house.
According to officials, inquiries are underway to determine whether any of the police officers connected to her were complicit in the smuggling of gold. Ramachandra Rao, a karnataka DGP-rank officer, has a stepdaughter named Ranya. At the moment, Ramachandra serves as the karnataka State police Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited's chairman and managing director.
Cash and gold valued at crores of rupees were taken from Ranya's Bengaluru apartment during the raid that followed her detention at Bengaluru international Airport.
When Ranya landed in Bengaluru from dubai on an Emirates aircraft on monday night, she was apprehended at the airport by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) personnel for smuggling 14.8 kg of gold. The value of the gold bars that were taken from her is Rs 12.56 crore. Ranya visited dubai regularly. As a result, DRI authorities were monitoring the actress's actions.
The 14.2 kg of gold is one of the largest seizures at the Bengaluru airport in recent memory, according to DRI authorities. Officials searched Ranya's apartment on Lavelle Road in Bengaluru, where she and her spouse reside, on wednesday after she was arrested. During the search, cash valued at Rs 2.67 crore and gold jewelry valued at Rs 2.06 crore were found. She allegedly paid Rs 4.5 lakh in rent there. The case has resulted in seizures totaling Rs 17.29 crore thus far. The probe is ongoing, karnataka Home minister G. Parameshwara stated. Let the DRI finish the investigation. I've requested that my department investigate.
