In a sensational turn of events, renowned Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa has been arrested in connection with the murder of Renukaswamy, a 33-year-old man from Chitradurga. According to police sources, Darshan retaliated violently after Renukaswamy made derogatory comments against his friend and co-star, Pavithra Gowda, on social media.

Investigators revealed that Pavithra urged Darshan to take action, leading to a meticulously planned attack. Renukaswamy, who worked for a pharmacy company, was abducted by members of the Darshan Fan Club, reportedly orchestrated by Raghavendra, also known as Raghu.

The horrifying episode unfolded when Darshan allegedly beat Renukaswamy with a belt and his accomplices thrashed him with sticks, ultimately causing fatal injuries by throwing him against a wall. The body was later discovered by a food delivery boy and reported to the police. Darshan, Pavithra, and 11 others are now in custody, awaiting further legal proceedings.
