Tarun Konduraju, who belongs to a prominent business family in Bengaluru, was produced in court. The Karnataka government has now ordered an investigation into reports that police personnel accompanied the actor at the airport. The matter has also sparked a political blame game. The BJP has alleged that the actor approached two ministers in the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government to wriggle out of trouble. The ruling Congress, on the other hand, has tried to put the BJP in the dock and alleged that under the Basavaraj Bommai-led BJP government, the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board allotted land to Ranya Rao to set up a steel plant. The actor allegedly made frequent trips to Dubai and smuggled in gold bars. She is the stepdaughter of senior IPS officer K Ramachandra Rao. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) will also look into whether the actor’s stepfather was involved in her claiming these privileges in his name. The CBI has launched a probe into the gold smuggling case involving the actor.
