Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru, November 27, 2024: Kannada actor Darshan has claimed that Renukaswamy was vulgar and a “menace to orderly society." During a recent hearing in the Karnataka High Court, Darshan and his legal team made shocking allegations against Renukaswamy and claimed that he used to send nude photos to women.

Darshan’s senior advocate CV Nagesh made claims in court and went on to claim that the deceased had also sent pornographic content to multiple women. “Renukaswamy had no respect for women and was a threat to the moral fabric of society," he argued. The lawyer further told the court that Renukaswamy’s activities were part of his pattern, not isolated acts.

Who was Renukaswamy?

Renukaswamy was found dead at Sumanahalli Bridge in Bengaluru on June 8, 2024. He hailed from a middle-class background with his father Kashinatha Shivanagoudara being a retired government employee. Reportedly, Renukaswamy used to work at an Apollo Pharmacy branch in Chitradurga.

Previously, police officials claimed that Renuka used to send vulgar messages to Kannada actress Pavithra Gowad, a friend of Darshan. Angry about this, Renuka Swamy was murdered and his dead body was allegedly thrown in a canal at Kamaksshipalya, Bengaluru in front of Darshan.

However, Renukaswamy’s wife previously denied claims that her late husband used to send derogatory messages to anyone. “My husband called me on June 8 afternoon. If my husband had sent derogatory messages on social media, he should have been given a warning. What was the need to kill him," she said and then added, “Whether he is an actor (Darshan) or a star, I want justice."

When was Darshan arrested?

Darshan was arrested by the Bengaluru police from Mysuru on June 11. Police officials are investigating his involvement in the Renuka Swamy murder case and have already seized his cell phones. His bail plea has been rejected multiple times.
