The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|April 27, 2025
The Karnataka High Court on Saturday dismissed the bail plea of actress Ranya Rao in connection with the gold smuggling case.
The bail application of the second accused, Tarun Raju, was also rejected.
A bench, headed by Justice Savanur Vishwajith Shetty, passed the order in this regard.
Notably, Rao is the stepdaughter of a DGP who was sent on compulsory leave.
Meanwhile, the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 (COFEPOSA), had been invoked against Rao.
The Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB), a nodal agency under the Ministry of Finance, has invoked the COFEPOSA Act against the actress and other accused as per the recommendation of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), probing the case.
