Vijayalakshmi to share updates
Her post read, “My Dear #DBoss Celebrities, Your Challenging Star carries each one of you in his heart. Until he returns to connect with you directly, I will be handling his social media to share updates and movie promotions on his behalf. The love, prayers, and patience you continue to show him and our family give him and our family immense strength. Let’s hold on to that unity and positivity—he will be back soon, with the same love and energy you’ve always known. With gratitude and love, Vijayalakshmi Darshan," said Vijayalakshmi through Darshan's social media page.


SC cancels Darshan’s interim bail
Meanwhile, Darshan's interim bail was cancelled on the orders of the Supreme Court. He was subsequently arrested and taken for questioning at the Annapurneshwari Nagar police station in Bengaluru. It has been reported that he will be produced in court later. Along with Darshan, four others, including actress Pavithra Gowda , have been arrested. The Supreme Court noted that the Karnataka High Court had granted bail without adequately considering intimidation and other illegal acts against witnesses.

The government cites Darshan’s influence as a threat to the investigation
The Karnataka government filed a petition in the Supreme Court, urging that Darshan should not be granted bail in this case. Similarly, the government's legal advisor, A.S. Ponnanna, said, “If bail is granted in such an important case, the investigation and court proceedings will be affected. Since Darshan is a powerful person, there is a risk that he will use his influence to block the case," he said. The body of the 33-year-old victim from Chitradurga in the Renukaswamy murder case was found in Kamakshipalya, Bangalore, on June 9, 2024.
