Bengaluru: A purported photograph of Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who is currently in judicial custody in the Renukaswamy murder case, hanging out with three others has gone viral. In the picture, Darshan, currently lodged in Parappana Agrahara Central jail, is seen in a relaxed mood, sitting on a chair, holding a cigarette and a coffee cup, in an open space. According to some reports, those seated with Darshan are rowdy sheeter Wilson Garden Naga and other inmates Nagaraj (the actor’s manager and co-accused) and Kulla Seena.
Also, a purported video of Darshan speaking to a person over a video call too has surfaced. There has been no official confirmation so far on whether the purported photo and video were from within the jail premises or elsewhere in the past or whether they are doctored material. Meanwhile, reacting to the picture, the deceased Renukaswamy’s father Kashinath S Shivanagowdru demanded a probe into it and punishment for those behind it.
“With such things there is a feeling that a CBI probe should happen.” “Looking at the picture I’m surprised to see him (Darshan) with others holding a cigarette and drinking tea. We get a doubt whether he is in jail or not.
Jail should be a jail and should not become something else. He should be treated like other normal prisoners, but here it looks like he seems to be sitting in a resort,” he told reporters in the district headquarters town of Chitradurga. Stating that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and polic.
