Kannada actress Ranya Rao was arrested at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport for attempting to smuggle 14.8 kg of gold worth ₹12.56 crore. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) discovered the gold concealed in her shoes after she lied to authorities. Rao had made several trips to Dubai in the past year, allegedly transporting gold during her travels. Authorities also found gold jewelry and large sums of money at her residence. The case raises questions about potential links between smuggling operations and law enforcement. Investigations into the network are ongoing.
