A state protocol officer, summoned by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in the gold smuggling case involving Kannada actor Ranya Rao, has said they regularly received calls from senior officers to grant protocol privilege to their family members and relatives.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), which opposed bail to Rao in the high-profile case in which she was arrested at the Bengaluru airport for carrying 14 kg gold, has given details of the operation to the court.

The agency told the court that it seized a Dubai residency card as well as foreign gold from the actor’s residence. It suspects that she was involved in hawala transactions, and it was important to find out who the seized cash belongs to.
