Ranya Rao Gold Smuggling Case… Accused actor living a luxurious life in jail, cell with mobile and TV facilities

Desk: Actor Tarun, arrested in the Ranya Rao gold smuggling case, is receiving special privileges inside the jail. He is being provided with a mobile phone, television, and other amenities. Sources say Tarun has access to a TV in the jail and uses it. Tarun’s cell also includes a special bed, special food arrangements, and entertainment. A video related to this case has also surfaced.

This gold smuggling case came to light when investigating agencies revealed that Ranya Rao, the daughter of a senior IPS officer, traveled to Dubai more than 50 times between 2023 and 2025. Investigations by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and the Enforcement Directorate revealed that Ranya was involved in gold smuggling during these trips.

Meanwhile, Telugu actor Tarun was accused of playing a key role in connecting Ranya to an international gold smuggling network. This connection was established through film industry events and parties attended by some alleged businessmen and smugglers in Dubai.

Investigative agencies arrested Tarun while he was trying to escape to Geneva. Following his arrest, he was remanded in judicial custody. Questions are now being raised about the privileges afforded to such a high-profile prisoner. Tarun gained recognition with the 2018 Telugu film Parichayam, which also holds American citizenship. It was during the filming and promotion of the film that Tarun met Ranya Rao. This is how the story of the gold smuggling network began.
