00:00Here are how the details getting interesting in Karnataka.
00:03The Karnataka government has withdrawn the CID probe into police role in Rania Rao gold
00:10smuggling case.
00:11Why is the police role being pulled back?
00:15When she clearly flaunted that she is the DGP rank officer's daughter, she shouldn't
00:20have a security check done.
00:22She reportedly had a constable with her from Karnataka police who also tried best to tell
00:27the officials of DRI not to do her security check because she is a DGP rank officer.
00:33Was there a police role that should be investigated into this further?
00:36Why has the CID probe pulled back on this?
00:39The details are that the Karnataka government has withdrawn the CID probe into police involvement.
00:44CID initially was tasked to investigate if there were any protocol violations at the
00:49Bengaluru International Airport.
00:52My colleague Sagai Raj who has been on top of the story, he is getting us all the inside
00:56details that are coming in.
00:58Sagai, tell me more because the CID in many ways of the state will be under the state
01:03government.
01:04How are they looking at why police role isn't important to investigate here?
01:09So far the Karnataka government has not given any kind of reason that why they have revoked
01:15the probe order of CID.
01:17CID was supposed to investigate the role of police personnel especially protocol officers
01:23in the airport.
01:24Remember that protocol officers at the airport are the state government officials especially
01:30from the state government police department.
01:32In this particular case there were lapses on the state government police which has allowed
01:36Rania Rao to get away.
01:37So there was a probe which was being ordered but now the Karnataka government has withdrawn
01:42the CID probe.
01:43Alright, Sagai will be tracking all the latest on that.
01:46A lot of turns.
01:47Remember, is there an involvement of anyone known at the top that is someone trying to
01:53protect them or more because more and more names are definitely like to tumble out of
01:57this pocket especially when it comes to gold smuggling issues.
