Ranya Rao Claims Torture; Father Sent on Leave
The Sunday Guardian
|March 16, 2025
In a fresh development from the gold smuggling case at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport, Kannada actor Ranya Rao has now alleged that she was subjected to torture during police custody, saying she was slapped multiple times and denied food.
She also claimed that the case had been falsely pinned on her, a news agency PTI report said.
The development comes just a day after a Bengaluru Special Court for Economic Offences rejected the actor's bail application in the gold smuggling case.
The agency argued before the court that granting bail to the actor could hinder the ongoing probe and potentially result in evidence or witness tampering.
Ranya Rao, 34, was arrested on March 3 upon her arrival from Dubai at the Kempegowda airport in Bengaluru with 14 kgs of gold bars worth Rs 12.56 crores.
