In a dramatic turn in the Renukaswamy murder case, the Supreme Court of India has cancelled the bail granted to Kannada actor Darshan and actress Pavithra Gowda, citing serious legal flaws in the earlier Karnataka High Court order. Within hours of the verdict, Bengaluru Police arrested both accused — Pavithra from her residence and Darshan from his wife’s home in Hosakerehalli.
The case revolves around the brutal killing of 33-year-old Renukaswamy, a fan who allegedly sent obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda. Investigations revealed that he was abducted, tortured, and murdered by a group allegedly led by Darshan. Forensic reports confirmed severe physical abuse, including electric shocks.
The Supreme Court emphasized that fame does not grant immunity from the law, stating that “no man is above or below the law” and warned against any preferential treatment in custody. The court has directed authorities to expedite the trial and ensure justice is served without bias.
