The Karnataka High Court commenced hearings today on the bail application of actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who is implicated in the murder case of Renukaswamy. Darshan’s legal team has requested bail on health grounds, citing severe back pain that may require surgical treatment.
Senior advocate CV Nagesh, representing Darshan, informed the court that medical professionals at VIMS Hospital in Bengaluru have diagnosed the actor with pain in the L1 and L5 vertebrae. The medical reports indicate that surgery could be necessary, prompting the request for bail.
In response, the High Court has directed prison authorities to provide a comprehensive medical report detailing Darshan’s health condition. Additionally, Special Public Prosecutor Prasanna Kumar has been instructed to submit objections regarding the bail plea. The court will reconvene on October 28 for further discussions on the matter.
The case centers around the murder of 33-year-old Renukaswamy, whose body was found near Sumanahalli Bridge in Bengaluru on June 9. Renukaswamy, a fan of Darshan, was reportedly kidnapped and murdered after sending derogatory messages to his friend, Pavithra Gowda, on social media, which angered the actor.
The post-mortem report indicated multiple signs of torture, including bruises, a missing ear, and ruptured testicles. It revealed that Renukaswamy had suffered severe injuries from wooden clubs, leading to his death from “shock and hemorrhage due to multiple blunt injuries.”
Crime branch photos obtained by India Today TV displayed extensive bruising on Renukaswamy’s body, particularly on his back, arms, and chest, highlighting the brutal nature of the attack.
Darshan Thoogudeepa was arrested on June 11, alongside his friend and fellow actor Pavithra Gowda, as well as 15 other individuals, for their alleged involvement in the case.
