The investigating agency claims that a deep conspiracy of money laundering is coming out in this case. The Enforcement Directorate raided 16 locations related to the case. In which it was found that Ranya Rao is a part of a large international smuggling and hawala network. ED investigation revealed that Ranya Rao along with hawala operators made illegal transactions of foreign currency for gold smuggling. According to ED sources, many hawala operators admitted that they made direct transactions from Ranya and sold the smuggling gold to Jauhar. The network spread from Dubai to Bengaluru, in which Ranya worked as a courier and took a commission of Rs 4-5 lakh per kg. The investigation revealed many fake companies, who transferred crores of rupees by showing fake transactions in Ranya’s accounts. A company gave Ranya as “Construction Labor Suppliers” and gave huge amount, while no valid documents were found. A Trust has made a bill of 40 lakhs of the Ronya. The ED suspects that three companies of Ranya are Ranya Rao photography, Ayras Greens, and Kshiroda India Shell companies, which were used for money laundering. A shocking revelation was that an academic trust paid Rs 40 lakh for Ranya’s credit card bill. No valid bill or document of this transaction was found, which deepened the suspicion of money laundering. The ED is now investigating the funding of this trust and the conspiracy behind it. Doubts on Ranya’s husband and father also revealed illegal transactions of foreign currency without the approval of the Reserve Bank of India. Ranya’s Dubai -based company, Veera Diamonds Trading is being considered as the front of money laundering. The ED tracked the illegal earnings of several crores of rupees and a thorough investigation into the source of funds is going on. Ranya Rao and his colleague Tarun Raju were granted conditional bail by the Economic Offenses Court on 20 May 2025, but the investigation is going on fast. Ranya’s husband Jatin Hawakari and stepfather Ramchandra Rao are also under investigation. Sandeep Gupta has been active in journalism for more than 14 years long.
