Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra asks how much gold Ranya Rao has brought in her 40 Dubai trips, asks K’taka BJP chief. “We have never heard of gold smuggling of this scale in the state. The daughter of a senior IPS officer travelled to Dubai 30 to 40 times and was accorded royal treatment whenever she landed in Bengaluru. There was a situation where no one could stop her or conduct security checks,” he said. The actress was arrested last Monday by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officials for smuggling gold upon her arrival at Bengaluru International Airport. The Central agencies, the CBI and the DRI, are also probing the case. The state government has ordered two separate investigations into the case to determine the role of the actress’s father, DGP K. Ramachandra Rao, in granting her protocol privileges and police escorts. The investigations are being conducted separately by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and a senior IAS officer.
