While cops appeal his medical bail, Darshan to undergo surgery to alleviate pain in his back

Darshan, recently granted medical bail by the Karnataka High Court due to severe back pain, has reportedly agreed to undergo surgery following mounting pressure from doctors at BGS hospital. Despite consulting an expert after his release, Darshan had initially opted for physiotherapy, contrary to doctors' strong recommendation for surgical intervention.

The decision comes as Bengaluru police prepare to challenge his bail in the Supreme Court, arguing that Darshan is yet to undergo surgery despite being released two weeks ago. Authorities contend that the delay undermines the basis of his medical bail, raising concerns over potential misuse of such provisions.

Sources indicate that Darshan's surgery is now scheduled to take place within the next four days, a development that could impact any future requests for bail extension. If completed as planned, the procedure may lend additional weight to any appeals he might make for extending his release on medical grounds.

Darshan’s case, which has drawn significant attention, underscores broader concerns about medical bail provisions and their potential for abuse. The legal and medical dimensions of the situation continue to evolve, as the police maintain their focus on challenging the High Court's decision to grant him temporary freedom. The Supreme Court's stance on the appeal remains awaited.
