by

As someone who has closely followed this intriguing saga unfold, I must say that the recent decision by the Karnataka High Court to grant bail to Darshan Thoogudeepa and other co-accused in the Renukaswamy murder case comes as a bit of a shock. The details of this case have been etched into our collective consciousness, with its high-profile nature ensuring that it remained a topic of conversation for many months.

Actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who was in jail due to his connection with the high-profile murder case of Renukaswamy, a 33-year-old fan from Chitradurga, recently found himself under the spotlight. However, the Karnataka High Court has now delivered its long-awaited verdict on this case.

According to Bangalore Times, on December 13th, the Karnataka High Court gave Darshan Thoogudeepa and Pavithra Gowda, who are currently involved in a murder case, general bail. The court bench led by Justice S. Vishwajit Shetty also granted bail to the other five individuals implicated in the same case.

In this rephrased version, the sentence conveys that the court made its decision only after considering all arguments presented by both the prosecution and the defense, as well as thoroughly examining all relevant evidence and testimony from witnesses, ensuring a balanced approach prior to announcing the final decision.

Given the prominent status of the main suspect involved, the case has attracted significant focus and interest.

On October 30, the court granted Darshan Thoogudeepa a temporary release for six weeks due to health-related reasons.

On the 9th of December, I found myself awaiting the court’s decision on the bail petitions submitted by the individuals involved in this case that I’ve been closely following. Justice Shetty was the one who had reserved his orders at that time.

For those not familiar with the situation, it was discovered that Renukaswamy, aged 33, was found deceased close to a storm drain in Somanahalli on June 9th. The deceased is reported to have sent inappropriate messages to Pavithra Gowda, which infuriated Darshan Thoogudeepa, leading to the suspicion of murder.

Alongside five other associates, the Kannada actor was involved in the abduction of Renukaswamy. In a small building, they subjected him to severe torture, disfiguring his physical form by cutting off parts and inflicting electric shocks, which eventually resulted in his tragic death.

Afterwards, Darshan Thoogudeepa was arrested in connection to this case on June 11.
