Darshan accused of killing a fan

The mobile numbers of both were active in the same area from 11 pm to 3 am.
After this, Darshan and Pavitra were arrested on 11 June.
Why was Renukaswami murdered
Actually, the deceased Renukaswamy was a fan of Darshan Thoogudeepa. In January 2024, Kannada actress Pavitra Gowda celebrated her 10th anniversary with Darshan. Darshan was already married, due to which his relationship with actress Pavitra Gowda came into controversy.
Renukaswamy, who considered Darshan as his idol, was very upset with this news. He was constantly messaging Pavitra and threatening her to stay away from Darshan. Initially, Pavitra ignored his messages, but later Renukaswamy started threatening her by sending objectionable messages. When Pavitra complained about this to Darshan, Darshan, with the help of his companions, called Renukaswamy to a godown, where he was tortured and killed. According to the confession of the accused, after the murder, the clothes of Darshan's companions were soaked in blood. They went to the nearby Reliance store and bought new clothes and changed there. In this case, 19 people including Darshan and Pavitra are behind bars.
