On a dramatic Tuesday, Kannada actress Pavithra Gowda, a central figure in the high-profile Renukaswamy murder case, was released from the Parappana Agrahara central prison. Her release follows the Karnataka High Court's decision to grant her, along with her actor-friend Darshan Thoogudeepa and others, conditional bail.

Darshan, arrested on June 11, had already secured interim bail on medical grounds to undergo spine surgery and was released from Ballari jail on October 30. The court action has come as a significant development in the case that has intrigued the public and involved multiple accused, including R Nagaraju and Anu Kumar.

The murder of Renukaswamy, allegedly provoked by his obscene messages to Pavithra, attracted intense scrutiny. According to police investigations, Pavithra purportedly instigated the crime, implicating numerous individuals in the conspiracy. With a post-mortem confirming his death from blunt trauma, the case continues to unfold with public interest.
