Kannada star hero actor Darshan, who has been facing allegations in the murder case of his fan Renuka Swamy, has secured temporary relief from custody. The Karnataka High Court granted him a six-week interim bail earlier today to undergo a medical surgery. On June 11, Darshan was arrested for his alleged role in the murder of Renukaswamy.
After his initial bail request was denied in the sessions court in September, he turned to the Karnataka High Court for relief. In his appeal, Darshan stated he has been suffering from numbness in his feet that requires surgery. He also noted that he planned to undergo the procedure in a private hospital in Mysuru, covering the costs himself.
The state responded to the petition by submitting sealed medical reports from doctors at Ballari Central Prison and a neurologist from a government hospital in Ballari.
After reviewing these reports, Justice S. Vishwajith Shetty from the High Court granted Darshan six weeks of temporary bail so he could get medical treatment.
