The Karnataka government is set to update its standard operating procedures to restrict protocol privileges to senior bureaucrats exclusively, excluding their relatives and acquaintances. This move comes in the wake of a recent incident where actor Ranya Rao was apprehended for gold smuggling, purportedly taking advantage of security protocol at Kempegowda International Airport. Under the revised guidelines, additional security measures will only be implemented if there is a specific threat targeting an official. This decision aims to enhance security protocols and prevent misuse of privileges by individuals not entitled to them.
