Renukaswamy murder case: Photo of Darshan with cigarette and coffee in jail goes viral | India News – MASHAHER

NEW DELHI: A photo of Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, currently held in Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara jail, has sparked controversy after it went viral. The image shows Darshan holding a cigarette and a cup of coffee while sitting with three others in what seems to be an open area within the jail. The individuals with him are reportedly rowdy sheeter Wilson Garden Naga, his manager and co-accused Nagaraj, and another inmate, Kulla Seena.However, there is no official confirmation regarding the photo’s authenticity or whether it was taken inside the jail.

Darshan, along with 16 others, including his friend Pavithra Gowda, is in judicial custody related to the murder of Renukaswamy. Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda recently stated that the police will submit the final report to the court once all forensic reports are received. According to police sources, Renukaswamy, a 33-year-old fan of the actor, allegedly sent obscene messages to Gowda, which reportedly enraged Darshan and led to the murder. Renukaswamy’s body was found near a stormwater drain beside an apartment in Sumanahalli on June 9.
Raghavendra, a member of Darshan’s fan club in Chitradurga and one of the accused, allegedly lured Renukaswamy to a shed in R R Nagar under the guise of a meeting with the actor. It was in this shed that Renukaswamy was allegedly tortured and killed. The post-mortem report revealed that he died from shock and hemorrhage caused by multiple blunt injuries.
Police sources informed PTI that Gowda, the primary accused, played a significant role in Renukaswamy’s murder. The investigation reportedly confirms that she instigated and conspired with the other accused and actively participated in the crime.
