Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa taken into custody in connection with a murder case
Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa was taken into custody in connection with a murder case on Tuesday, June 11.
The actor was arrested from his farm house in Mysuru and is being shifted to Bengaluru by the jurisdictional police where the murder was allegedly committed in Kamakshipalya.
The local police in Bengaluru was investigating the murder of one Renukaswamy, who originally belonged to Chitradurga. It had taken nine persons for questioning in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy when Darshan’s name was also mentioned following which the police took him into custody.
It is being said that Renukaswamy was allegedly murdered for online harassment of Pavithra Gowda, a close friend of Mr. Darshan.
According to the police, Renuka Swamy, a native of Chitradurga, was called to the Mysuru farm house owned by Darshan, where the accused tortured and killed him before dumping the body in a drain in Kamakshipalya two months ago.
Initial probe led the police to a missing persons complaint registered in Chitradurga. During the course of the investigation, three persons surrendered claiming that they killed Renukaswamy due to financial issue. However, further investigation led them to Darshan.
As news of the arrest spread, policemen were posted around the actor’s residence at Rajarajeshwari Nagar in Bengaluru.
