With more details emerging in the Renukaswamy murder case, it has come to light that Darshan assaulted Pavitra Gowda as well. 

Interestingly, it was allegedly because of Pavitra Gowda that Darshan assaulted Renukaswamy. He had sent lewd messages to her, thereby vexing Darshan.

As a result, he was summoned to a shed in RR Nagar, where he was locked up, bashed and beaten, ultimately being killed. After realising the gravity of the situation, Darshan met Pavitra and allegedly slapped her badly, holding her responsible for the death of Renukaswamy. 

She even went to a hospital after she received the blows and got treatment. Presently, she, along with Darshan, has been arrested. 

Renukaswamy, a medicine store worker, hailed from Chitradurga. It is said he was a big fan of Darshan and his wife and requested Pavitra Gowda not to interfere in their lives. Also, Darshan is not new to controversies. In 2011, he got into a fight with his wife and even had a stint in Parappana Agrahara jail. 

He was frequently seen with Pavitra Gowda and clicked pics with her. He had also celebrated her birthday. 

It simply goes on to show that Darshan is a stickler to controversies.
