The Karnataka government has recently taken legal action by approaching the Supreme Court to challenge the Karnataka High Court's decision to grant bail to popular Kannada actors Darshan Thoogudeepa, Pavithra Gowda, and five others. This move comes after the High Court granted bail to the actors on December 13, 2024.
Darshan, who was arrested on June 11, 2024, for his alleged involvement in the murder of his fan Renukaswamy on June 8 of the same year, has been at the center of this controversial case. It is said that Darshan had ordered the attack on Renukaswamy, an autorickshaw driver, after he had sent inappropriate messages to Gowda. Before the bail was granted, Darshan was being held at Parappana Agrahara Jail in Bengaluru. However, due to a photograph of him relaxing with other inmates that went viral, he was moved to Ballari Central Jail.
The state government made the decision to appeal against the bail granted to Darshan and his co-accused on January 6. This came after the mortal remains of Renukaswamy, aged 33, were discovered on June 9, 2024. It is believed that he succumbed to his injuries after being brutally attacked on the orders of Darshan. It was reported that Darshan had urged his fans to confront and kidnap Renukaswamy for making derogatory comments about Gowda on social media.
However, this is not the first time Darshan has been granted bail in this case. In October 2024, the Karnataka High Court had given him interim bail for six weeks on medical grounds. But in a surprising turn of events, the High Court granted him and his co-accused regular bail in December, much to the dismay of the state government. With the case still ongoing, the Karnataka government has now taken the matter to the highest court in the country.
The incident surrounding Renukaswamy's death has caused a stir in the state, with many questioning the power and influence of celebrities in the justice system. While the actors may have been granted bail, the fight for justice for Renukaswamy continues. As the case progresses, the public eagerly awaits the final verdict from the Supreme Court.
