Kannada actor Ranya Rao has found herself in a legal quagmire after being apprehended for allegedly smuggling 14.2 kg of gold at Bengaluru airport. The incident has led to her father, DGP Ramachandra Rao, being placed on ‘compulsory leave’ to prevent any potential embarrassment. Despite Ranya vehemently denying her father’s involvement in the smuggling case and alleging that she was pressured into signing certain documents, three central agencies are actively investigating the matter. It is speculated that DGP Ramachandra Rao may be summoned for questioning by the investigating authorities in the near future.
