Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa spent his first night in Jail on Tuesday (June 11) after he was arrested in the Renuka Swamy murder case. Reportedly, the actor enjoyed a lavish meal in the prison and was served biryani.
As reported by TV9 Kannada, the actor was served biryani for dinner on Tuesday. The report also claimed that Darshan was “tensed” and “remained silent” as he also slept on the floor with his alleged aides. Reportedly, Darshan took a Dolo 650 tablet to feel better. However, News18 Showsha could not verify these claims at the time of publishing.
Darshan was arrested by the Bengaluru police from Mysuru. He was then brought to Bengaluru and sent to 6-day police custody. Police officials are investigating the actor’s involvement in the Renuka Swamy murder case.
Darshan’s phone has also been seized by the Karnataka police. Besides this, cops have also seized a red jeep that was allegedly used by the actor Darshan and his aides to dispose of Renuka’s dead body on June 8, 2024.
Renuka Swamy was found dead at Sumanahalli Bridge in Bengaluru on June 8, 2024. He used to reportedly work at an Apollo Pharmacy branch in Chitradurga. It is said that a wooden log was used to fatally injure him. The perpetrators intended to dispose of the body in the Vrushabhavati valley, but it was discovered stuck and being tampered with by dogs.
Previously, police officials claimed that Renuka used to send vulgar messages to Kannada actress Pavithra Gowad, a friend of Darshan. Angry about this, Renuka Swamy was murdered and his dead body was allegedly thrown in a canal at Kamaksshipalya, Bengaluru in front of Darshan. Reportedly, eight of the accused have implicated Darshan, claiming his presence during Renuka Swamy’s assault.
However, Renuka Swamy’s wife has denied claims that her late husband used to send derogatory messages to anyone. “My husband called me on June 8 afternoon. If my husband had sent derogatory messages on social media, he should have been given a warning. What was the need to kill him,” she said earlier today as quoted by Deccan Herald and then added, “Whether he is an actor (Darshan) or a star, I want justice.”
