Bengaluru Actor Bail Case Heads to Supreme Court

The Bengaluru Police Commissioner announced plans to appeal to the Supreme Court against the bail granted to actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and others in the Renukaswamy murder case. The Karnataka High Court had recently granted conditional bail to Darshan and his co-accused, but police seek further legal action.

Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda has confirmed that efforts are underway to file an appeal in the Supreme Court, challenging the bail granted to Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and other defendants in the Renukaswamy murder case.

Dayananda stated that a proposal is being prepared for submission to the state government. Recently, the Karnataka High Court provided conditional bail to Darshan, accused number 2 in the case.

Accusations against Darshan arose following the murder of Renukaswamy, allegedly spurred by obscene messages sent to Darshan's friend Pavithra Gowda. The police suspect Gowda's instigation played a major role in the crime.
