Ranya Rao’s update on the gold smuggling case, BJP &, Congress blaming each other for the same.
Karnataka has launched an inquiry into the alleged misuse of VIP airport privileges by actress Ranya Rao, who was recently arrested for gold smuggling. The probe will also examine the role of her stepfather, DGP Dr. K. Ramachandra Rao, in facilitating her access.
Ranya Rao was arrested by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) for allegedly smuggling gold bars worth ₹12 crore from Dubai to Bengaluru. She reportedly used VIP protocols, meant for senior officials, to evade security checks. She allegedly cited her stepfather’s position as MD of the Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation to gain unauthorized access to restricted airport areas.
The state government has appointed Gaurav Gupta, IAS, as the investigating officer, with a one-week deadline for the final report. The case has sparked a political battle, with the BJP accusing Congress of shielding Rao, while Congress alleges that the BJP granted land to a firm linked to her under questionable circumstances.
