What Kannada Actor Darshan Said As His Bail Was Cancelled In Renukaswamy Murder Case
In a major development in the sensational Renukaswamy murder case that gripped Karnataka earlier this year, the Supreme Court on Saturday cancelled the bail of seven accused, including Kannada film star Darshan and his associate Pavithra Gowda. The order effectively paves the way for the high-profile actor's return to jail. (News18 Kannada) A bench comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan delivered the verdict while hearing the Karnataka government's plea challenging the Karnataka High Court's earlier decision to grant bail. The apex court held that the High Court order contained 'errors' and that bail had been extended 'for certain reasons' which could not be justified. (News18 Kannada) The bench stressed that 'no one is big or small before the law' and even criticised the prison administration for allegedly allowing Darshan a comfortable stay in custody. The court observed that the jail superintendent 'should have been suspended' for the reported preferential treatment. (News18 Kannada) Darshan, who had been out on bail since the High Court's ruling, was reportedly in Tamil Nadu when the Supreme Court verdict came. Sources told News18 that the actor had recently returned from an overseas film shoot and was visiting temples with his wife, Vijayalakshmi. His exact location at the time of the announcement remains unclear, but he is believed to have been at a prominent temple in Tamil Nadu. (News18 Kannada) According to police sources, Darshan's mobile phone has been switched off since the verdict, although officers have managed to establish contact. 'He has said he will surrender himself,' one official told reporters. (News18 Kannada) The Supreme Court order also applies to six other accused in the case - Pavithra Gowda (A1), Jagadish alias Jagga (A6), Anukumar alias Anu (A7), Pradush (A14), Nagaraju alias Naga (A11), and Lakshman (A12). (News18 Kannada) Darshan, popularly known as 'Challenging Star' in the Kannada film industry, had been working on his upcoming movie Devil before this latest legal setback. With the bail cancelled, his immediate future now appears to be behind bars once more, as police prepare to take him and the others into custody in compliance with the Supreme Court directive. (News18 Kannada) The Renukaswamy murder case, in which 17 people have been named as accused, continues to draw intense public and media scrutiny. The Supreme Court's decision marks a fresh turning point in the ongoing trial, reinforcing the message that celebrity status offers no shield from the law. (News18 Kannada)
