Karnataka actress Ranya Rao was arrested at Kempegowda International Airport on March 3 for allegedly smuggling 14.8 kilograms of gold from Dubai. After her arrest, a photo showing her with swollen eyes and bruises started spreading on social media. This raised questions about whether she was treated badly while in custody of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI).
The chairperson of the Karnataka State Commission for Women, Nagalakshmi Chaudhary, responded to concerns about Ranya’s condition. She said they cannot investigate unless Ranya files an official complaint. Chaudhary strongly condemned any violence against Ranya, emphasizing that no one should ever be assaulted.
She stated that if Ranya decides to file a complaint, the commission will look into it and help her. For now, without a complaint, they can’t take any action.
Meanwhile, Ranya is in DRI custody for three days, as the agency wants to check where the smuggled gold came from and who was supposed to receive it. They mentioned possible connections to “anti-national activities.”
