Bengaluru (Karnataka), India, April 1 (ANI): Actress Ranya Rao has taken legal action with regard to the
Karnataka High Court
on Tuesday regarding bail, just days following a session court in Bengaluru denied her request for assistance.

Rao’s attorney, BS Girish, filed the petition, which the High Court is scheduled to consider the following week.

On March 27, the 64th CCH Sessions Court in Bangalore dismissed Ranya Rao’s request for bail regarding her involvement in a gold trafficking case. The court announced its decision on Thursday.

On March 3rd, Ranya Rao was apprehended at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport following the discovery of gold in her possession by officials from the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). Subsequently, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a First Information Report (FIR), prompted by a complaint lodged by Abhishek Chandra Gupta, who holds the position of Additional Director with the DRI.

The First Information Report (FIR) was filed under the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1988, alongside multiple provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS). The complaint states that on March 6, two individuals from abroad were apprehended at Mumbai Airport for trying to import 21.28 kilograms of gold into India, which has an estimated value of Rs. 18.92 crore through illegal means.

The complaint states that following Ranya Rao’s detention on March 3, two individuals from abroad were apprehended at the Mumbai airport on March 6. They allegedly attempted to import 21.28 kg of gold valued at Rs. 18.92 crore into India.

The CBI has registered a First Information Report in the gold smuggling case based on the complaint submitted by Abhishek Chandra Gupta, who serves as the Additional Director of DRI.

The First Information Report (FIR) has been filed under the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1988 and several provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) based on the allegations made by Abhishek Chandra Gupta. The charges outlined in the complaint include recognizable offenses as per Sections 7 and 12 of the amended Prevention of Corruption Act from 2018, alongside Section 61(2) of the IPC.

Abhishek Chandra Gupta, an additional director at DRI, stated in his report that these instances of travelers arriving from Dubai and trying to illegally import substantial amounts of gold suggest potential collaboration with a well-organized smuggling network, likely based out of Dubai (UAE).

Regarding Ranya Rao, she made several trips to Dubai, whereas the two detained foreigners had previously entered the Mumbai airport numerous times.

In his complaint, Gupta also raised concerns about the potential involvement of public officials and other individuals. (ANI)
