Indian actor Ranya Rao has been imposed with a fine of Rs 102 crore in the gold smuggling case, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence said. Along with her, three others were also imposed a fine of over Rs 50 crore.
The DRI officials on Tuesday served the penalty notice running 2,500 pages to the actress and others presently in the Bengaluru Central Jail.
The actor was caught with 14.8 kg of gold on March 3 at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on her arrival from Dubai.
Rao and others were served the notice inside the jail and they were also warned that if they don’t pay the fine, their properties could be attached.
The Ranya Rao case became a high-profile one as Rao is the stepdaughter of senior IPS officer Dr K Ramachandra Rao. He was sent on leave after the smuggling case surfaced. It was revoked later.
