In Bengaluru, Karnataka, the Home Minister, G Parameshwara, announced on Friday that the famous Kannada actor, Darshan, will not receive any special treatment in prison during his time in judicial custody. When questioned by the media in Bengaluru, Minister Parameshwara acknowledged the concerns about high-profile prisoners being given preferential treatment in jail.
He assured that the prison authorities will be closely monitored to ensure that no additional privileges are provided to Darshan during his custody. The police have requested a week-long custody of the actor, but the court has only granted two days for further investigation into the murder of Renukaswamy, a 33-year-old resident of Chitradurga.
Minister Parameshwara clarified that if the investigation is completed within the given time, Darshan will be sent to judicial custody. When asked about reports of the Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah, instructing ministers not to interfere in Darshan's case, he stated that no one has approached them regarding the matter and there has been no interference from any minister. He further explained that the officers brief them on the case, and there is no need for any outside involvement.
Addressing the concerns about a BJP MLA's relative being involved in Renukaswamy's murder, Minister Parameshwara assured that the case will not be handled based on any political affiliations. He stated that the guilty will be treated as such, regardless of their party, and the investigation will be solely based on the crime committed.
Darshan and three others are currently in police custody until June 22, while the other 13 accused, including Darshan's partner Pavithra Gowda, have been sent to jail in connection with the case. The investigation has revealed that Renukaswamy was a huge fan of Darshan and had sent derogatory messages to Pavithra Gowda on social media. She was allegedly kidnapped, brought to Bengaluru, and tortured to death in a shed.
In conclusion, Minister Parameshwara stated that the authorities will ensure that Darshan is treated like any other prisoner and will not receive any special treatment due to his celebrity status. The investigation will continue without any political interference, and the guilty will be punished accordingly.
