Darshan's Bail Plea Hearing By Bengaluru Session Court To Be Held Today

Kannada film actor Darshan is currently in Ballari district prison for the murder case of his fan Renukaswamy. In his bail petition, the actor called himself innocent and claimed he was framed in this case. Justice M Nagaprasanna headed the bench at the Karnataka High Court which heard the bail application on Friday, September 27. A Bengaluru Court adjourned the hearing on the bail plea of Darshan and his seven associates, who have been lodged in different jails following their arrest on charges of brutally murdering Renukaswamy of Chitradurga from June to September 30.

The 57th Sessions Court at Bengaluru took up Darshan’s bail plea. The advocates representing the accused Darshan sought time for arguments, following which the Court adjourned the next hearing to today, September 30. The court will decide on the actor’s bail petition today.

Darshan’s bail petition further said that he has been “fixed” in the case. “Barring the major injury on the head, no major injuries were found on the body of Renukaswamy. There is no clarity on his exact time of death. There are contradictions between the statements before the court and the medical reports,” the bail petition stated. It further highlighted the absence of evidence for the Darshan’s alleged crime of murder. The bail petition states that authorities have created evidence against Darshan in the case.

Recently, Darshan was interrogated by the Income Tax official over unaccountable money. They requested the court to seize the money. Regarding this, the superstar stated in the bail petition that he has a fan following in Karnataka and other countries. The details of the movable and immovable properties have been mentioned in the petition. As per the report of Mathrubhumi, sources have confirmed that arrangements are being made by his wife Vijayalakshmi to bring Darshan to Bengaluru from Ballari by helicopter if the court accepts his bail petition.

The Karnataka High Court on Monday granted bail to Keshavamurthy, one of the accused in the Renukaswamy murder case. The High Court bench of Justice Vishwajit Shetty granted bail. The Sessions Court granted bail to two others accused in the case, Nikhil Naik and Karthik.
