Court rejects Kannada actor Darshan's plea for home delivery of food in jail

Mr Darshan had also requested that his family bring cutlery, bedding and books to the prison (file)

Bangalore:

A Bengaluru court on Thursday dismissed a petition filed by Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who is in judicial custody in the Renukaswamy murder case, seeking directions to the jail authorities to allow him to have access to food at home in the jail. He had also sought that cutlery, clothes, bedding and books be provided to him by his family members.

The Karnataka High Court had earlier this month asked Darshan to approach the trial court in this regard.

In his petition, Darshan also stated that he had lost several kilos of weight as he was unable to eat and digest the food provided by the jail. It was also mentioned that the actor was suffering from diarrhoea and the jail doctors had diagnosed a case of food poisoning.

According to the petitioner, Section 30 of the Karnataka Prisons Act, 1963, allows prisoners awaiting trial to be given such documents subject to scrutiny and rules as may be approved by the IGP (Prisons). Dismissing Darshan's petition, the court, citing the prison rules, noted that the facilities sought by the actor cannot be granted to a murder accused.

According to police sources, Renukaswamy, 33, a fan of the actor, had sent obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda, a close friend of Darshan and a co-accused in the case, which had infuriated the actor and led to his murder. His body was found near a storm drain next to an apartment in Sumanahalli on June 9. Raghavendra, one of the accused who is part of Darshan's fan club in Chitradurga, had brought Renukaswamy to a shed in RR Nagar on the pretext that the actor wanted to meet him. It was in this shed that he was allegedly tortured and murdered on June 8.

According to the autopsy report, Renukaswamy, a native of Chitradurga, died due to shock and haemorrhage following multiple blunt force injuries.

Police sources said Pavithra, who is the number one accused, was the “primary cause” of Renukaswamy's murder, saying investigations have proven that she instigated other accused, conspired with them and took part in the crime.
