Sources reveal that Ranya Rao has connections with several influential political figures, including a senior Congress minister. This has sparked speculation that the ongoing probe could implicate key political players. DRI officials are closely examining the involvement of powerful backers who may have facilitated the illegal operation.
Ranya Rao’s recent lavish wedding in Bengaluru, attended by top political figures, has added to the controversy. With her arrest, some ministers are reportedly alarmed, fearing the probe could extend to them. Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes efforts are allegedly being made to manage the situation.
However, DRI officials remain firm in their investigation, tracking leads that could expose deeper political involvement. If crucial evidence emerges, the case could take a more serious turn, potentially affecting the government.
The gold smuggling case involving Ranya Rao is gaining national attention, with authorities determined to unravel the full network behind the operation. More arrests and political ramifications are anticipated as the investigation progresses.
