Gold Smuggling Case: Actress Enters ED Chargesheet!

In what could be considered an extremely challenging situation, a South Indian actress is finding herself in deep trouble after getting caught in a Gold smuggling case.

The Enforcement Directorate has filed a detailed chargesheet against Kannada actress Ranya Rao in connection with a ₹102.55 crore gold smuggling and money laundering case.

According to officials, more than 127 kilograms of gold was allegedly smuggled into the country through illegal channels. Investigators claim that the gold was brought in as part of a planned operation and later sold or moved through different financial routes to hide its true source.

The agency believes that the money earned from these activities was layered and invested in various assets to make it appear legal.

Under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, authorities have attached assets worth ₹34.12 crore. These include properties and other financial investments that are suspected to be linked to the proceeds of crime. Officials say the attachment is provisional and subject to confirmation by the court.

The chargesheet reportedly includes financial documents, bank transaction details, witness statements, and other material evidence gathered during the investigation. The case has attracted major public attention due to the large quantity of gold involved and the high value of the alleged operation. Further legal proceedings will now take place in court.
