Karnataka govt orders CID probe into police lapses in gold smuggling case. CID directed to investigate possible lapses by the police department and any collusion in connection with the case. State government has ordered a separate probe into Ranya Rao’s father, DGP Ramachandra Rao. A senior IAS officer has been assigned to investigate the alleged violation of protocol at the Bengaluru International Airport. The Special Economic Offences Court in Bengaluru has adjourned the matter of bail petition by the actress to Wednesday. The actress was arrested on charges of gold smuggling and misusing her father’s name to escape security checks by availing the protocol reserved for officials of the highest rank. The agency seized Rs 2.06 crore worth of gold and Rs 2,67 crore in cash from her upscale Lavelle Road flat, where she reportedly paid Rs 4.5 lakh in rent. The case is now registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Therefore, the investigation is not under the control of the state government.
