Allegations about any Karna minister's involvement in gold smuggling baseless: Cong MLA

Allegations about any Karna minister's involvement in gold smuggling baseless: Cong MLA

Bengaluru, Mar 11 (UNI) Karnataka Congress MLA Rizwan Arshad on Tuesday termed as "baseless" allegations about the involvement of any minister in the gold smuggling racket purportedly linked to actress Ranya Rao, and wondered whether any state minister would engage in "something as small as smuggling a small amount of gold".
"Do you really think a minister would engage in something as small as smuggling a small amount of gold? Such accusations are not only baseless but also derogatory. BJP should not stoop to this level," Arshad told reporters here.
Ranya was arrested by DRI on March 3 at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru for allegedly smuggling 14.8 kilograms of gold from Dubai.
