Renuka Swamy Case: Court adjourns jailed actor Darshan's bail plea hearing; counsel accuses police of fabricating evidence

As a dedicated follower of Kannada cinema, I have always admired Darshan Thoogudeepa for his acting skills and charisma. However, the recent events surrounding his arrest and imprisonment have left me bewildered and saddened.


Darshan Thoogudeepa has been held in judicial custody since June following his arrest in relation to the gruesome murder of Renuka Swamy, who appeared to be a fan of his. In recent updates concerning this case, the actor submitted a petition for bail after being detained for 100 days. However, the court delayed hearing his bail application until October 4, according to a Oneindia report. Yet, another postponement has been reported, with the hearing now scheduled for October 5 instead.

Additionally, the report indicates that senior counsel C.V. Nagesh, acting for Darshan, argued that evidence against his client was falsified by the police. He expressed dissatisfaction with the investigation, likening it to a fanciful tale from the Arabian Nights. CV. Nagesh suggested that public opinion, or a trial by media, had unduly swayed the case. Furthermore, he maintained that the wounds found on Renuka Swamy’s body were actually caused by dog bites rather than an assault perpetrated by Darshan.

In their argument, the counsel asserted that the police had neglected to adhere to the correct steps when gathering evidence from the crime scene. Furthermore, Nagesh presented Supreme Court judgments to bolster his point that the evidence retrieval method did not align with the specified protocols.

As a devoted follower, I’d like to share an intriguing piece of news from mathrubhumi.com. Darshan Thoogudeepa, the incarcerated actor, asserted that he’s been tormented in prison by the spirit of Renuka Swamy. He’s confided in officials about the strain this situation has caused him, since he’s spending his nights alone in his cell. Darshan has expressed his restless nights due to fear as the reason for his sleeplessness. Additionally, sources have reported hearing Darshan vocalize loudly during his slumber at odd hours.

Darshan Thoogudeepa’s legal team is expected to petition the authorities for his transfer back to Parappana Agrahara Central jail if the court extends his judicial custody this Saturday. The reason behind this request is that he was moved from Bellary Jail due to allegations of receiving special treatment in prison. After the move, an investigation found evidence supporting these claims and confirmed that the prison officials indeed facilitated such treatment.
