Darshan’s fan goes on rampage even as he languishes in police custody; arrested for threatening

In a shocking turn of events, a young man from Yadgiri faced death threats after posting a status critical of Darshan, a popular sandalwood actor. The incident unfolded when Abhi, who runs a small puncture repair shop, shared a controversial status on social media.

The status caught the attention of Raju, the Yadgiri District President of the Darshan Fan Association. Incensed by Abhi's post, Raju reportedly called Abhi, issuing grave threats. "We will burn you alive," Raju allegedly said, demanding that Abhi apologize and delete the post immediately. The threats escalated, with Raju warning that Abhi's house and shop would be set on fire if he didn't comply.
