Early Diwali gift for Darshan as court grants him medical bail; actor to get treatment

In a significant development, the Karnataka High Court granted bail to actor Darshan, who has been in Ballari Central Jail for several weeks in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy. Darshan and several others stand accused of allegedly leading Renukaswamy into a shed in Bengaluru’s RR Nagar, where he was murdered, reportedly over the issue of lewd messages sent by the victim to a woman named Pavitra Gowda.

The court’s decision on bail came in response to a plea highlighting Darshan’s medical condition, which was deemed a "medical emergency" by his legal team.

As part of the bail conditions, Darshan must surrender his passport and provide periodic updates to the court regarding his medical status and location.

Following the pronouncement of the verdict, family members and well-wishers of the actor quickly gathered at Ballari Jail to receive him. For his supporters, this news serves as a welcome reprieve and is being regarded as an early Diwali gift.

Darshan’s case has been closely followed, with his release now paving the way for crucial medical care amid ongoing legal proceedings in the high-profile murder case.
