A court in Bengaluru has reserved its verdict while hearing the bail plea of Kannada actress Ranya Rao, arrested in the gold smuggling case from Dubai. Now the court will give its verdict in this matter on 14 March.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) told a Karnataka court hearing Ranya’s bail plea that Kannada actress Ranya Rao, arrested on charges of gold smuggling, received instructions from the officials of the department to the protocol officer of the protocol officer who helped avoid security checks at the airport.
The DRI has alleged that Ranya took advantage of the VIP airport protocol created for senior officials to ignore the security check.
The actress used to go from Green Channel instead of Red
Investigators have claimed that the State Protocol officer used to go to immigration and pick up the actress’ goods and take fast-track security approval. In this way, after landing, she used to escape from search at the airport. The accused used the green channel with the help of the protocol officer, while he should have gone from the Red Channel. This thing is completely recorded in the Panchnama.
DRI opposed the bail plea of the actress in the court, saying that the investigation of the case is still going on and during this time the witnesses can be affected by bail. There is also the possibility of the accused leaving the country and eradicating evidence.
