Ranya Rao Kannad Actress Story: This story is no less than a film script! Famous Kannada actress Ranya Rao had made a very vicious plan to smuggle gold from Dubai. During the debate on his bail plea, DRI objected to that the document has revealed that he had learned ways to hide the gold in clothes by watching the video on YouTube, but luck did not support him, and now he is in the grip of law.
Arrest at Bengaluru Airport
On the night of 3 March, the stir at the Bengaluru International Airport was fast. Everyone was busy with their flight and destination, but the officials were eyeing a particular passenger – Anya Rao, a 34 -year -old woman who stepped into Kannada cinema in 2014 from the film ‘Manikya’.
Officials suspected that this was not a normal journey and when they were searched, 14 kg 24 carat pure gold was hidden in their clothes. It was not an ordinary gold, but was brought in a large well -planned manner, by cutting it, sticking to the body and hiding inside the shoes. During the investigation, it was also revealed that Ranya could be a part of a big international syndicate.
Mysterious meeting in Dubai
Ranya told the investigators that he received instructions through internet calls. Such calls were coming to him continuously for the last few days. He had to go to Gate A of Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport and pick up gold.
At the airport’s dining lounge, she met a mysterious person wearing a white gown. He told that the person was speaking six feet long, wheat color and light African American accent. He took them to a corner and handed over two packets, in which gold rods were wrapped in a thick tarpaulin like plastic.
Was complete preparation!
All this did not happen suddenly. Ranya had already made a complete plan. She knew that scissors would not be found at the airport, so had already bought a tape pasting a stationery shop, half a mile. Not only this, he had already cut small pieces of tape and kept it in his bag.
She went straight to the washroom after getting gold at the dining lounge. There he opened the packet, there were 12 gold rods and some chopped pieces inside. Now it was the turn to hide it. He adopted the already seen tricks on YouTube. Pasted gold rods on its calves and waist, and put small pieces in shoes and pockets.
Caught after reaching Bengaluru

On March 3, Ranya reached Bangalore on Emirates flight. At the airport, she managed to cross the security check with the help of a corrupt officer, but her luck left her here. Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officials suspected his frequent foreign visits. She had gone to Dubai 27 times in the last six months, and four of these 27 trips took within just 15 days. He was surrounded by officials and searched inside the airport. As soon as gold rods were recovered from their clothes, this well -planned drama of Ranya ended there.
Protocol officer helped
An incident occurred at the Bengaluru International Airport, which surprised the entire country. By the time she had crossed the Immigration and Green Channels when the actress Ranya Rao was stopped by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). That too with the help of a protocol officer of the state!
Big revelation of Dri
DRI officials claimed, “Ranya Rao had never intended to declare what she was carrying. She crossed the green channel directly, that is, she knew that she was less likely to catch, but our team was alert.” The most shocking thing in this case was that a protocol officer of the state police was helping him. DRI immediately detained him, officially arrested the next day i.e. 4 pm on March 4 at 4 pm.
DRI made serious allegations

The investigating agency said clearly, “This is not just a case of personal smuggling, but is part of the organized crime with the help of the State Protocol Officer.” Ranya Rao has also received a resident of UAE (UAE) resident identity card, which makes it clear that he has deep contacts with Dubai.
A large amount was transferred through hawala!
DRI investigation has also revealed that a huge amount of money was transacted through hawala. Officials are now investigating the hawala network in depth, through which this amount was sent for smuggling. DRI officials said, “This case is not just about bringing gold, but it seems part of an entire international syndicate.” DRI has made it clear in the court that he strongly oppose Ranya Rao’s bail. This case is not only about smuggling by an actress, but a serious issue related to national security. Until we reach the bottom of the hawala network and this entire syndicate, Ranya Rao should not get bail. The biggest thing is that Ranya Rao is not cooperating in the investigation.
Protocol officer’s confession

When the state’s protocol officer was strictly questioned, he made a shocking confession. He told, “I got the orders of DGP Ramchandra Rao directly to provide all kinds of security and convenience to his family members. So I helped Ranya Rao at the airport.”
After this revelation, the matter has become even more complicated. Was it just an actress smuggling, or was it working behind it a big political-administrative alliance? The investigation of DRI is still on, and the matter is gradually pointing to an international conspiracy! The bench said, “We are worried about registering an FIR. Where is he? Is ADR an FIR? We understand that ADR is initially registered, but later when it is revealed that it was not a accidental or natural death, but a murder, what an FIR should not be lodged? “
