Kannada actor Ranya Rao denied being a part of a gold smuggling racket during questioning by the cops. Instead, she has reportedly claimed that she was ‘trapped’.
According to a report by India Today, Rao broke down during questioning by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), and stuck to claiming that she was ‘innocent’.
This comes after she earlier told her lawyers that she couldn’t sleep and keeps thinking ‘why did I get into it’.
“I keep thinking why did I get into it. My mind keeps going back to the day at the airport. I cannot sleep. I am having mental trauma,” she told her lawyers amid tears,” she told her lawyers while being produced in court on Friday.
The latest claim contradicts the actor’s official statement to DRI in which she admitted about being caught with 17 gold bars. The statement also stated that she travelled to not just Dubai but also to Europe, America and the Middle East.
