Senior lawyer Nagesh highlights investigative lapses while refuting claims of Darshan's involvement in the alleged crime.

In a tense session at the Karnataka High Court, Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, implicated in the Renukaswamy murder case, firmly defended his innocence. The actor's representative, Senior Advocate C V Nagesh, argued Renukaswamy's troubling history portrayed him as a threat to society.
