According to close sources, Radhika has been upset over her alleged split with the JD(S) leader and left Bengaluru to settle down in the coastal town of Mangaluru.

Directors and actors in close contact with the personality have also confirmed the rumour that the Radhika-Kumaraswamy have parted ways.

When contacted, her manager said that Radhika was currently in Mangaluru, but it was not clear when she would return.

A source close to Radhika also said that since she had decided to settle here, she would be enrolling her son in a school in Mangaluru from the next academic year onwards.

Until recently, Radhika was involved in the production of 'Namagagi' Kannada cine film in which she appears as lead actor along with co-star Vijaya Raghavendra.

However, rumours are rife that the production of this project stopped before it could be completed. However, director Raghuram denied this and said that the production of the movie would continue.

Nikhil rumoured to be reason for big split

It is rumoured that Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil was the reason for the big split between the couple, as he insisted that his father ditch his relationship with second wife Radhika. It is believed that Kumaraswamy gave in to the wishes of his son and split up with Radhika.

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA), Karnataka’s second busiest airport, has seen 148.5kg of gold smuggled between 2019 and December 2024, with 90% arriving from the UAE. Customs officials recorded 346 cases, averaging 30kg of gold seized per year (2.5kg per month). Most smugglers are from Kerala and Bhatkal.

A senior customs officer revealed that MIA sees at least five gold smuggling cases per month. Numbers dropped during the pandemic but surged after flights resumed. Many offenders are first-time carriers, while some are habitual smugglers. With fewer flights, customs thoroughly checks passengers, making smuggling harder.

Smugglers constantly innovate concealment methods. Hiding gold in the rectum remains common, but gold is also found in trolley bags, mobile covers, chocolate boxes, milk powder, biscuit packets, and clothing layers. Electronic devices like car speaker magnets, LED bulbs, AirPods, wristwatches, and ballpoint pens have been used.

Unusual tactics include hiding gold in a woman’s hairband, a baby’s diaper, and even a kheer mix packet (347g). In one case, a passenger attempted to smuggle 100g in his mouth under a mask but was caught.

Officials note that while the UAE remains a key source, smugglers now bring gold from other Gulf countries, continuously adapting to evade detection.
