Actor Darshan, Pavithra ask SC not to cancel bail in murder case
Pavithra Gowda
urged Supreme Court to uphold the bail granted to them by Karnataka high court in the sensational Renukaswamy murder case.
The apex court had reserved its verdict after a lengthy hearing on Karnataka govt's plea seeking to cancel their bail.
In his written submission, Darshan (accused no. 2 in the case) argued that bail should only be revoked in cases of serious violations, none of which apply to him. "Cancellation of bail is a harsh step that curtails personal liberty and shouldn't be taken lightly," his plea stated. The actor said he hadn't breached any bail conditions and there was no evidence against him when he was arrested in Mysuru for a crime that allegedly occurred in Bengaluru.

Darshan claimed his arrest was based on inadmissible late-night disclosures by other accused, who went to the police station on June 10, 2024, and allegedly named him during interrogation. He insisted the crime scene narrative was constructed using handpicked witnesses while key individuals present at the shed on the day of the murder — such as Vijay, Basavaraj and others — were curiously left out by the prosecution.

He also highlighted procedural delays, including a three-day gap before the inquest and postmortem were conducted, allegedly due to identity issues.
In her written submissions, Pavithra Gowda, accused no. 1, said no exceptional circumstances exist to cancel the bail granted to her.
Countering their arguments, the govt pointed to Darshan's post-bail behaviour: He was seen socialising with Chikkanna, a witness, after being granted bail.
Further, although he received exemption from court appearance on medical grounds in April (citing back pain), he was spotted at a film screening the very next day.

Macau casino heir Mario Ho's ex-girlfriend reveals she's a single mother, reignites infidelity scandal he tried to shut down days ago
Just days ago, a wave of explosive allegations surrounded Macau casino heir Mario Ho Yau Kwan. On July 31, multiple posts on Weibo accused the 29-year-old businessman of infidelity, fathering a secret child, and even inappropriate behavior with his own half-sister. In a rare move, Mario Ho issued a lengthy personal statement denying all claims. However, his ex-girlfriend has now posted photos with a baby, proudly captioning her new role as a single mother - a reveal that has opened the floodgates to fresh speculation. The Macau heir had earlier taken to Weibo with a forceful rebuttal, calling the claims "absurd" and "wildly imaginative." But with his ex-girlfriend now publicly showing her baby - and the timing - shockwaves have rippled across the internet, and the scandal has been reignited. Despite Mario Ho's attempt to shut the rumours down, her quiet yet pointed reveal has thrust his personal life back into the spotlight. Who is Macau casino heir Mario Ho's ex-girlfriend? Singaporean heiress Kim Lim, the daughter of billionaire stock tycoon Peter Lim and former girlfriend of Mario Ho, has recently set the internet ablaze. Their story began in 2015, when the two were introduced by Mario's sister, Sabrina Ho. However, the romance was short-lived, lasting just a year. According to reports, the breakup stemmed from conflicting ambitions - Kim wanted to pursue a modeling career in South Korea, while Mario hoped she would stay in Hong Kong to build a future with him. Since parting ways, Kim Lim has experienced two short-lived marriages. What did Kim Lim post on Instagram? In a striking move, Kim made her once-private social media account public and posted a photo and a video cradling a baby. The soft-lit, tender images instantly drew attention and raised eyebrows across the internet. According to reports, Kim gave birth last year and has been quietly raising the child in her hometown of Singapore. The timing of her reveal - coinciding with swirling rumours - left many asking the inevitable: Could Mario Ho be the father? Social media erupted. Within hours, Weibo was flooded with theories, propelling Mario Ho's name to the top of China's trending charts. Mario Ho's wife Ming Xi's silence speaks volumes After his break up with Kim Kim, Mario Ho proposed to supermodel Ming Xi in a grand gesture involving 99,999 roses - a proposal that made headlines. The couple married in 2019 and have since welcomed two children: a son named Ronaldo and a daughter born in 2022. Ming Xi, an international supermodel and Victoria's Secret star, is known for her poised public image. As the gossip surrounding her husband continues to grow, she has remained silent. Nearly two weeks have passed since the rumours first surfaced, and she has yet to make any public statement. However, reports suggest that tensions may be rising behind the scenes. According to QQ, the couple may be experiencing a 'cold war,' with Ming Xi allegedly becoming increasingly distanced from the Ho family. Rumours of a hidden affair and a silent wife Insiders speculate that Kim Lim's carefully timed "baby reveal" may be more than just a proud parenting moment. So far, Hong Kong media outlets have been met with silence after reaching out to Kim Lim for comment. Meanwhile, Mario Ho's representatives have flatly denied any connection to Kim's child.

Ranveer Allahbadia clears the air on fake rejection claims, reflects on controversy, and returns with new podcast episodes
After India's Got Latent controversy earlier this year, some Bollywood stars claimed they had turned down invites to be on Ranveer Allahbadia 's show. But now, Ranveer—popularly known as The Beer Biceps , has cleared the air. In a recent interview, he said many of those celebrities were never actually invited by his team. He admitted that these false claims left him feeling "upset and angry." Ranveer Allahbadia addresses fake rejection claims Ranveer told Prafful Garg, 'It was a feeding frenzy. Some celebrities claimed that they'd even rejected an invite to the show. The truth is that we never invited them in the first place. In such situations, I felt angry at human beings in general. But I realised that the predicament that I was in was a result of my own actions." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I Saw Two Bikers Mocking A Fat Truck Driver, But They Regretted It When They Discovered Who He Really Was Plays Star Undo The podcaster added, 'I couldn't change the past, but I could change the future. I got a forced break after a crazy, intense six-year podcasting journey. I'm just trying to move on; I've tried to forgive a lot of people, even myself, and to a degree, I've been successful." India's Got Latent row Earlier this year, Ranveer Allahbadia faced major backlash over an episode of India's Got Latent. During the show, he asked a contestant a highly inappropriate question. Although the panelists, including Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani , laughed at the comment, it didn't sit well with the audience. The clip went viral and sparked outrage online, leading to multiple FIRs being filed against Ranveer and the show's creators. Returns with new podcast episodes The controversy grew bigger when the National Commission for Women (NCW) got involved, and Ranveer Allahbadia had to issue a written apology. The Supreme Court later gave him temporary protection from arrest but strongly criticized his comments, calling them 'vulgar' and saying he had a 'dirty mind' that brought shame to society. Despite the backlash, Ranveer has recently made a comeback and resumed his podcast. Celebrities like Boman Irani , Shruti Haasan , and Tara Sutaria have already appeared as guests on the show.
