Karnataka: Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, also referred to as “Challenging Star,” was taken into custody by police on Tuesday in connection with a murder case. The actor and ten other individuals were apprehended by police in Mysuru.
He is suspected of being engaged in the Chitradurga murder of Renuka Swamy. Actress Pavitra Gowda was allegedly the target of some disrespectful social media actions by Swamy.
Sources claim that Swamy was killed in a shed within the station limits of Kamakshipalya. Two days ago, her lifeless body was discovered close to Sumannahalli Bridge, prompting the Kamakshipalya Police Station to open an investigation.
In September 2011, Darshan got caught in another legal dispute after his wife reported him to the police on charges of domestic abuse. After that, he was taken to jail and held at Parappana Agrahara for 14 days.
