A special court today denied bail to actor Ranya Rao, who was caught smuggling a large amount of gold. A second accused, Tarun Raju, has been sent to judicial custody for 15 days.
Actor Ranya Rao's bail plea was rejected in a gold smuggling case where she was caught with gold bars worth ₹12.56 crore at Bengaluru airport. Searches of her properties revealed additional gold jewelry and cash. The Enforcement Directorate is investigating the case, including her husband's potential involvement. Rao claimed she learned how to conceal gold via YouTube and was instructed by unknown individuals to smuggle it, insisting it was her first attempt.
