Renuka Swamy case: Jailed Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa’s judicial custody extended till September 12

Trigger: This particular article contains information about an individual’s murder which might be triggering for some readers. 

On Monday, the Bengaluru court extended the judicial custody of jailed Kannada actors Darshan Thoogudeepa, Pavithra Gowda, and others accused in the killing of Renuka Swamy. The judicial custody, which was supposed to end on September 9, has now been extended till September 12. Darshan, Pavithra, and others accused were produced before the Bengaluru court through video conferencing from different prisons. 

Darshan is currently jailed in the Ballari prison. He was transferred from Parappana Agrahara Central Jail, following a viral photograph showing him relaxing with three others, including a known criminal, on the jail’s grounds, which caused significant controversy.

A report in Indian Express suggests that ACP  Chandan Kumar submitted digital evidence against the accused. It is worth mentioning that the police had submitted a 3,991-page charge sheet against the accused on September 4. In the charge sheet, the police recorded the statements of 97 people, including 27 recorded before the magistrate under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).

Moreover, according to sources, Darshan Thoogudeepa might move a plea before the court seeking to restrict media houses from airing or publishing the details of the charge sheet. For the unversed, Darshan Thoogudeepa and his alleged girlfriend Pavithra Gowda were arrested on June 11 in connection with the alleged murder of Renuka Swamy, who was apparently a fan of the Kannada actor. 

If reports are to be believed then the victim had made derogatory remarks against Pavithra and had even accused her of ruining Darshan’s married life. This did not go well with the Sandalwood actors, and Darshan, with the help of the henchman, killed Renuka Swamy

It is pertinent to mention that Renuka was a 33-year-old auto driver. His post-mortem report stated that he was subjected to extreme torture. Renuka Swamy’s body had multiple bruises, a missing ear, and even ruptured testicles. The police investigation has also found that Darshan was directly involved in the physical assault of the victim.

Kolkata Doctor’s Family Reacts To Mamata Banerjee’s ‘Return To Pujo’ Remark

Amid the massive outrage surrounding the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s remarks, asking people to “return to (Durga) Pujo” has sparked widespread criticism.

Addressing the media yesterday, the Trinamool Congress chief said, “It has been a month (since the August 9 incident). I request you return to Pujo, return to the festivities and ask the CBI to ensure justice as soon as possible.”

Referring to the protests demanding justice for the victim, which have been raging across Bengal for the past month, she said, “If you are out protesting on the roads every night, a lot of people get disturbed. Several areas have elderly people. If you use microphones, they have trouble sleeping. There are pollution control norms that you cannot use microphones after 10 pm. We have overlooked all this. It has been a month now.”

She said the investigation is now in the CBI’s hands. “The woman who was raped and murdered must get justice. Please ensure justice by a fast-track court. Bengal is being defamed across the world. There are WhatsApp groups. People who studied here, ate here and then went outside are now defaming Bengal,” she said.

The remarks drew a sharp response from the victim’s parents. “What about our festivities when we have lost our daughter? Let her return our daughter. Would she have said the same had this happened in her family?”

“We celebrated Durga Puja with our daughter, we will not celebrate Durga Puja or any other festival for years to come. Her remarks are insensitive,” the parents said, according to a PTI report. 

Opposition parties, the BJP and the CPM, slammed the Chief Minister for the remarks.

BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of the Opposition in Bengal Assembly, asked if the Chief Minister considered people puppets. “(Do you think) they will stand, sit, celebrate and stop protests when you ask them to? The Pujo fortnight has not started yet, the demon is yet to be slayed. Be patient, the Mother’s power has awakened, it will cleanse Bengal,” he said in a post on X.

Senior CPM leader Sujan Chakraborty said, “Her (Banerjee) only hope is that the mass protests will fizzle out and people will shift to a celebratory mood, overlooking safety and security concerns.”
