In a shocking turn of events, Kannada superstar Darshan and his associates have been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of Renukaswamy, a 33-year-old fan of the actor, in Bengaluru. The post-mortem report reveals that the victim died due to shock and hemorrhage caused by severe torture.
Post-Mortem Report and Alleged Bribery
Renukaswamy’s post-mortem report details the extent of the brutal torture he endured, showing 15 injury marks on his body, including four fractures. The report indicates that his head was smashed against a mini truck in the shed where he was held captive. The body showed injury marks on the head, abdomen, chest, and other parts.
Sources have revealed that attempts were made to manipulate the post-mortem report to suggest that Renukaswamy died of a heart attack, thereby dropping the murder charge against Darshan. Authorities conducting the post-mortem allegedly reported being offered Rs 1 crore to alter the findings.
The Arrests
Darshan, along with his co-star and partner Pavithra Gowda and 14 others, has been arrested on charges of murdering Renukaswamy, a resident of Chitradurga. The investigation uncovered that Renukaswamy, a devoted fan of Darshan, had sent derogatory messages to Pavithra Gowda on social media. In retaliation, he was allegedly kidnapped, brought to Bengaluru, confined in a shed, and subjected to brutal torture until his death.
Eyewitness Account
One of the accused, who has agreed to turn police approver, has provided a harrowing account of the events. He claimed that Darshan kicked Renukaswamy with full force in his private parts and smashed his head against a mini truck. Sources also mentioned that one of the accused recorded the brutal act, providing crucial evidence for the investigation.
Investigation Continues
The Bengaluru police are continuing their investigation, looking into all aspects of the case, including the alleged bribery attempt to manipulate the post-mortem report. The arrest of Darshan and his associates has sent shockwaves through the Kannada film industry and among his fans.
This case underscores the dark side of celebrity influence and the extreme measures some may take in response to perceived slights. The authorities are determined to ensure justice for Renukaswamy and hold all those responsible accountable for their actions.
