Bengaluru: Popular Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa has been behind bars for over two months, facing serious allegations in connection with the murder of his fan, Renuka Swamy. The actor, who is currently lodged in Bengaluru jail, has recently made headlines due to concerns about his health.
According to reports from ‘Money Control,’ Darshan’s health has been deteriorating over the past few days, leading to a recent incident where he fainted. Although his condition initially raised concerns, it was later reported that Darshan’s health has stabilized, and there is no cause for alarm at the moment. However, further details regarding his current health status remain undisclosed.
Health Issues and Jail Food Concerns
Darshan’s health issues have sparked discussions about the quality of food provided in jail. The actor has been suffering from food poisoning and diarrhea, reportedly caused by the jail food. This prompted Darshan to file a petition in the Bangalore court, requesting permission to receive home-cooked meals.
In his petition, Darshan’s legal team argued that as an actor who needs to maintain a healthy and fit body, he requires a nutritious diet. The lawyer emphasized that the poor quality of the jail food has adversely affected his health. However, despite these arguments, the court ultimately rejected the petition, leaving Darshan to continue with the jail-provided meals.
The Renuka Swamy Murder Case: A Shocking Allegation
Darshan Thoogudeepa was arrested on June 11, 2024, in connection with the murder of Renuka Swamy. The case has shocked the Kannada film industry and his fan base.
The events leading to this tragic incident began on June 8, 2024, when the body of Renuka Swamy was discovered in a drain in Bengaluru. Reports suggest that Renuka Swamy was deeply disturbed by Darshan’s alleged relationship with actress Pavita Gowda. It is believed that Renuka had advised Pavita to stay away from Darshan, but her advice was not heeded.
In response, Renuka allegedly began sending objectionable messages to Pavita Gowda. According to the police, this escalation of events led to a tragic outcome. The police allege that Darshan, under the influence or instigation of Pavita Gowda, kidnapped, tortured, and eventually murdered Renuka Swamy.
The case has sparked widespread media attention, with Darshan’s fans and the general public awaiting further developments in this high-profile case. As the investigation continues, Darshan remains in custody, with his health and the quality of his jail conditions becoming a topic of ongoing concern.
