Harshavardini Ranya alias Ranya Rao (32) was arrested by the Directors of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) from the International KEVEGOWDA Airport of Bengalur 3. Dri officials received 14.2 kg of gold bars worth £12.56 crore from its possession.
Ed said in his statement that the “possible” involvement of some civil servants in the facilitation of illicit Rao activities is under control because the actor was “assisted” at the airport upon his arrival in India.
The federal probe said the agency said that in the framework of the prevention of the PMLA Act (PMLA), the Provisional Order was issued to connect Ra’s house in Victoria’s layout and a plot located in the Arkavathi layout in Bengalur, industrial land in Tumcur and agricultural land in Anecal Taluk.

Exploring digital tracks to help
The “involvement” of the actor in generating, possession and circulating income from crime was further “confirmed” by its digital footprint, including invoices, export statements, records of foreign and recorded cottages and introducing its “active role” in the smuggling syndicate.
“Ranya Rao, in an active agreement with Tarun, organized a well -structured surgery for gold smuggling to India.
“Gold has been obtained from suppliers based in Dubai, Uganda and other jurisdictions and payments were made through Hawala canals in cash, thereby circumventing legal financial systems,” the agency said.

He claimed that a fake customs statement was filed in Dubai, fraudulently declared the goal of gold consignments as Switzerland or the United States, while the real travel of gold smugglers was in India.
What did ed found
Dual sets of travel documents were found – one for a declared export target and the other for their actual arrival in India – avoid control and facilitate smuggling through Indian airports, Ed said.
Smowed gold was then sold in India for cash to jewelers and other local entities and revenues were then washed through “Hawala” remittance abroad to finance repeated consignments for more gold to India, the agency found.
He said that “evidence” obtained from confiscated mobile phones and forensic extraction of digital devices revealed “detailed coordination” with foreign gold suppliers “,” Hawala “and agents based in Dubai.
Rao, according to the agency, rejected the knowledge of confiscated gold and other assets while recording her statement of ED, but her claim was “contradictory” compared to wrapped physical evidence, including customs documents carrying her name, travel and purchase and digital conversation.

Connection, Ed said, was made to prevent secrecy or alienation of stunned assets and to ensure the proceeds of crime, although he added that the investigation was in progress, including the identification of other individuals involved in the Syndicate.
The search for Ra’s residence, after her arrest, discovered a “unanswered” amount £2.67 crore in cash and gold jewelry £2.06 crore.
