The Karnataka High Court granted bail to Keshavamurthy, an accused in the Renukaswamy murder case. Subsequently, the Sessions Court granted bail to two other accused. The murder, allegedly orchestrated by Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and his associates, was triggered by Renukaswamy's obscene messages to Darshan's friend Pavithra.
