Chitradurga residents staged a protest on Wednesday, condemning the murder of Renukaswamy, a youth from the city, and seeking strict punishment for the accused.
Hundreds of people joined the protest, led by BJP leaders and representatives of Veerashaiva-Lingayat community.
The protesters took out a march from Neelakanteshwara temple, formed a human chain at Gandhi Circle, and assembled at Onake Obavva Circle.
The protesters raised slogans against Darshan, who along with his associates have been accused of murdering Renukaswamy. They tore photos of the actor. The victim, who was working at a pharmacy, was Darshan’s fan. He was allegedly kidnapped and murdered by the accused for allegedly harassing Pavithra Gowda, Darshan’s friend, online.
BJP MLC K.S. Naveen, addressing the protesters, said that the actor and his associates murdered the youth for a frivolous reason.
“He must have committed the crime believing that he was a superstar and could get away by committing any crime. People of Chitradurga demand justice,” he said.
