Karnataka DGP Ramachandra Rao is facing backlash after a video allegedly shows him in a compromising act with a woman inside his office while in uniform. Ramachandra Rao is a DGP-rank IPS officer and the father of gold smuggling accused Ranya Rao. Ramachandra Rao is serving as the Director General of Police in the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement (DCRE). Earlier, the Karnataka government placed Ramchandra Rao on compulsory leave in March 2025 in connection with the gold smuggling case. The Police Department and Ramachandra Rao are yet to react to the development.
