Kannada actor Ranya Rao, who was caught smuggling gold bars worth Rs 14.56 crore last week, on Monday alleged she is “traumatised and emotionally broken” as she was “verbally tortured and threatened” in the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI)’s custody.

Ms Rao made the submissions before a special court, in Bengaluru, which sought to know if she was physically tortured in custody.

Breaking down in court, the actor said: “I was verbally tortured and threatened. I am traumatised and emotionally broken.” 
 

Police arrested thirteen individuals after violent clashes in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, where a rally celebrating India’s ICC Champions Trophy victory faced stone pelting. The unrest caused injuries and vehicular damage. Law enforcement is investigating and monitoring the situation, ensuring stringent actions against those involved.

Nitish Rane announced the creation of jhatka meat suppliers’ platform called MalharCertification.com, which would be run exclusively by Hindus.
