A Bengaluru sessions court has framed murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy charges against actor Darshan, Pavitra Gowda, and 15 others in the Renukaswamy case. All accused pleaded not guilty, with the trial set to begin on November 10.
Kannada actor Darshan, currently out on bail for a fan murder case, has requested court approval to travel abroad to Dubai and Europe. Prosecutors oppose this, fearing he may not return. The ongoing legal proceedings involve his relationship disputes leading to the murder, and additional charges have recently been filed against him.
Kannada actor Darshan, accused of murdering fan Renukaswamy, attended the Sessions Court to finalize bail after receiving interim bail from the Karnataka High Court. Darshan, recently hospitalized for back pain, was released by the court along with his friend Pavithra Gowda. The case, stemming from an alleged conflict over obscene messages, has garnered public attention.
The Bengaluru police on Saturday (Nov 23) filed a comprehensive 1,300-page supplementary chargesheet in the high-profile Renukaswamy murder case, which implicates actor Darshan and his associates. The additional charge sheet, prepared under the supervision of ACP Chandan Kumar, was submitted to the 57th CCH Court. During the investigation, police uncovered significant evidence linking the accused to the crime scene, including photographs retrieved from a witness’s mobile phone.
The Karnataka High Court will decide on October 30 whether to grant interim bail to actor Darshan Thoogudeepa for medical treatment amid his custody in the Renukaswamy murder case. His counsel cited health issues requiring surgery, opposed by the State. The court emphasized Darshan’s right to choose his medical facility and awaits further details on hospitalization.
