Actor Ranya Rao was arrested at Bengaluru airport for gold smuggling. The BJP has alleged that the actor approached two ministers in the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government to wriggle out of trouble. State BJP chief BY Vijayendra said the \”blatant violation\” of protocols could not have happened without the direct support of influential figures within the government. The CBI is now investigating the sensational case that came to light after a Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) team stopped her at the airport last week. The 33-year-old actor, who started her career with 2014 Kannada film Maanikya, had flown in from Dubai on an Emirates flight last Monday. DRI has said in court that it is a matter concerning national security. Ranyaao, who is the stepdaughter of senior IPS officer K Ramachandra Rao, is currently in DRI’s custody and is being questioned. The actor is also being questioned by the Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara.
