Ranya Rao’s IPS Step-Father Ramachandra Sent on Compulsory Leave
In a sudden move, the Karnataka government has announced that IPS officer Ramachandra Rao, step-father of actress Ranya Rao, has been sent on “compulsory leave” with immediate effect. Ramachandra has been handling the charge of Director-General of Police (DGP) of Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation.
The official government order on the same did not mention any reason for the move, which comes after Ranya Rao’s arrest in a gold smuggling case. This development has sparked a lot of curiosity and speculation, with many wondering if there is a connection between the two events.
Ranya Rao, a popular actress in the Kannada film industry, was arrested earlier this month by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly being involved in a gold smuggling racket. The agency had launched an investigation into the case after receiving a complaint from the Customs Department.
Ramachandra Rao, a senior IPS officer, has been a prominent figure in Karnataka’s police department for many years. He has held various posts, including the charge of DGP of Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation, where he has been responsible for overseeing the affairs of the corporation.
The compulsory leave order against Ramachandra Rao was issued by the Home Department of the Karnataka government, which did not provide any specific reason for the move. However, sources close to the matter have indicated that the decision may be related to the ongoing investigation into Ranya Rao’s involvement in the gold smuggling case.
It is worth noting that Ramachandra Rao has been a vocal supporter of his step-daughter, Ranya Rao, and has spoken out in her defense on several occasions. He has also been critical of the CBI’s investigation into the case, claiming that it is biased and motivated.
The compulsory leave order against Ramachandra Rao has raised questions about the propriety of the move, particularly given his position as a senior IPS officer and the fact that he has been handling a sensitive post in the Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation.
The Karnataka government has not issued any statement on the matter, but sources have indicated that the decision was taken after a thorough review of the situation. The move is seen as a precautionary measure to avoid any potential conflict of interest or perceived bias in the investigation into Ranya Rao’s case.
The compulsory leave order against Ramachandra Rao has also sparked speculation about the potential impact on the investigation into Ranya Rao’s involvement in the gold smuggling case. Some have speculated that the move may be an attempt to prevent Ramachandra Rao from influencing the investigation or using his position to exert pressure on the CBI.
Others have questioned the timing of the move, suggesting that it may be an attempt to divert attention away from Ranya Rao’s case or to create a smokescreen to hide any potential wrongdoing.
As the investigation into Ranya Rao’s case continues, it remains to be seen what impact Ramachandra Rao’s compulsory leave will have on the proceedings. One thing is certain, however – the move has raised more questions than answers, and the public is eagerly awaiting more information on the matter.
