1. Influence of Pavitra Gowda: Pavitra Gowda, designated as A1, is reported to have influenced Darshan (A2) to commit the crime. Her role in the incident is under scrutiny.
2. Fan Base Misused: Darshan allegedly used his substantial fan base to orchestrate the murder of Renukaswamy. This manipulation has raised significant concerns about the misuse of his influence.
3. Use of Money and Muscle Power: The murder was facilitated through the use of financial resources and physical force. Additionally, jewelry was stolen from Renukaswamy, indicating a possible motive for the crime.
4. History of Assaults in the Shed: The shed where Renukaswamy was assaulted has been used for similar violent acts against others, not just him. This pattern of behavior points to a larger issue of ongoing criminal activity.
5. Common Intention to Kill: All individuals involved had a shared intent to kill Renukaswamy, highlighting premeditation and collective guilt.
6. Destruction of Evidence: Under Darshan’s guidance, a deliberate effort was made to destroy evidence post-murder. This attempt to cover up the crime is a significant factor in the judicial decision.
7. Exploitation of Poverty: Darshan reportedly enticed others to participate in the crime by exploiting their poverty. This manipulation further aggravates the severity of his actions.
8. Fan Protests: Following the arrest, Darshan’s fans have protested outside the police station, demonstrating the charged atmosphere surrounding the case.
9. Police Evidence: The police have presented substantial physical, technical, and scientific evidence, reinforcing the charges against Darshan and his co-accused.
