‘Ranya -taun went to Dubai 26 times, returned in the evening in the morning …’, new revelations in Gold Smuggling case – Bengaluru Gold Smuggling Case Ranya Rao Tarun Went to Dubai 26 Times Went in Morning and Returned in Evening Ntc

The bail plea of ​​actress Ranya Rao, arrested in the gold smuggling case from Dubai, was heard in a special court for economic crimes today. During this, Madhurao, a lawyer for Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), strongly opposed the bail of another accused in the case and made several shocking revelations before the court.

Madhurao said that under the Customs Act, it is a crime to bring goods worth more than one crore rupees to the country without permission. Ranya Rao was arrested on this charge. After his arrest, a forensic investigation of the documents and electronic equipment seized was done in which many important information came to light and the role of other accused Tarun was also revealed.

Ranya booked Tarun’s flight ticket

Investigation revealed that Tarun had come to Hyderabad from Dubai and his journey was booked by Ranya himself. Not only this, the ticket was also paid by Ranya by transferring money to Tarun’s bank account. Evidence of this is present with the investigating agencies. Not only this, in Dubai, Tarun also handed over gold to Ranya, which was ready to bring India.

A lookout circular was also issued against Tarun, so that he could not leave the country. Despite this, Tarun tried to escape. On the 8th, Tarun tried to leave the country. When he did not think of any other way, he fled to Bangalore from Hyderabad. However, the investigating agencies caught him and presented all the documents and reasons of the arrest in the court.

Was Tarun in escaping?

DRI’s lawyer Madhurao made it clear that no law was violated during the arrest. Tarun’s sister was informed about the arrest and the entire process was completed by staying within the legal purview. Investigation also revealed that Tarun is an American citizen, which further increases the seriousness of the case.

During the hearing in the court, questions were also raised on Tarun’s visit. He claimed that he was going to Geneva, but reached Hyderabad and then to Bengaluru. Now the question arises that if he really had to go to Geneva, then why did he choose this route?

Tarun and Ranya trave to Dubai 26 times

Madhurao argued that the business transaction between Tarun and Dubai should be investigated in depth. It is also necessary to closely investigate the payment made for the purchase of gold in Dubai. In addition, investigation is also needed to highlight the international link of the gold smuggling network.

Investigation also revealed that Tarun and Ranya have traveled to Dubai together 26 times. Interestingly, he used to go to Dubai in the morning and return in the evening. Investigation agencies believe that this pattern is extremely suspicious and this increases the possibility that the accused can run away at any time.

Defense denied allegations

Arguments were also presented by the defense in the special court on Tarun’s bail plea. Tarun’s lawyer Devraju argued in favor of bail in the court, saying that there is no possibility of his client escapes abroad. At the same time, the lawyers of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) denied this claim and said that Tarun was planning to go abroad.

Defense lawyer Devraju argued that Tarun’s passport is already deposited with DRI, so he could not be likely to run away abroad. He said that Tarun is a native of America and has been living in India for the last decade. He cannot tamper with evidence in any way, so he should get bail.

The court will give the verdict tomorrow

The lawyers appearing for DRI claimed in the court that Tarun used to complete the process of custom clearance in Dubai, after which this gold was sent to Geneva or Bangkok. Later Ranya used to work to bring it to India. However, the defense questioned the allegation and said that DRI does not have any concrete evidence about this. After hearing the arguments of both sides, the court has reserved its decision. The court will now give its verdict in this case tomorrow.
