Kannada actor Darshan landed more deep in trouble after he confessed of borrowing Rs 40 lakh from one of his friends to pay off other accused individuals to destroy evidence.
The murder case of Renuka Swamy is one of the most gruesome and brutal homicides that has come to light. In a significant development in the case, Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa has reportedly confessed to borrowing Rs 40 lakh from one of his friends to pay off other accused individuals to destroy evidence. Additionally, it has been reported that the actor had already paid Rs 30 lakh to others to surrender.
This news comes just days after NDTV reported that Darshan allegedly offered Rs 15 lakh to three men to take responsibility for Renuka Swamy’s murder. Currently, investigations are ongoing, and Darshan is being investigated in connection with the Renuka Swamy murder case. On June 8, 2024, police recovered Renuka Swamy’s body. Reports indicate that the victim was employed at an Apollo Pharmacy branch in Chitradurga.
Allegations suggest that Renuka had been sending lewd messages to Kannada actress Pavithra Gowad, who was a friend of Darshan. Angered by this, Renuka Swamy was reportedly murdered, and his body was allegedly disposed of in a canal in Kamaksshipalya, Bengaluru, in Darshan’s presence.
Furthermore, previous reports from Karnataka police officials claimed that Swamy was thrashed by Darshan and his aides, leading to his death. “It was Pavithra who instigated Darshan to punish Renukaswamy. Accordingly, the plan was hatched,” sources claimed.
As the investigation progresses, several Kannada actors have come out in support of Darshan. Actress Rachita Ram recently called on the media to maintain “unbiased and transparent” reporting when discussing the investigation.
“I pray for the departed soul, Renukaswamy. I hope his family gains the strength to bear the loss. I hope justice will be delivered in this murder case. Darshan introduced me to the cinema industry. He is like my mentor. I cannot believe that the person who used to correct my mistakes and guide me was involved in the case. I believe that the police will bring out the truth. Hope the media will remain unbiased and transparent in their reports,” her statement read.
