From tiger teeth to diamonds, here is how the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) busted 3 wildlife-trafficking operations and one gold-and-diamond smuggling racket in Maharashtra
The Union Minister alleges that a ‘powerful’ Congress leader is ‘deliberately’ targeting G. Parameshwara in gold smuggling case connected to Ranya Rao
The Enforcement Directorate, meanwhile, continued its searches at institutions linked to Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA)
Ranya Rao was arrested on March 4 for allegedly attempting to smuggle 14.8 kilograms of gold valued at Rs 12 crore into India
Ranya Rao reportedly claimed the man had contacted her over the internet and gave her the location to deliver the gold
Siddaramaiah government’s move has raised suspicion since there are rumours that two state ministers are linked to the gold smuggling case involving Kannada actor Ranya Rao
The RTI response from the police indicated that only two arrests had been made in Malappuram in gold smuggling cases since January 2023
