Three Accused Seek Approver Status in Renukaswamy Murder Case Trial
In the Renukaswamy murder case involving Kannada actor Darshan, three accused—Pradosh Rao, Ravi Shankar, and Vinay Raghavendra—have sought approver status in a Bengaluru sessions court. Pradosh filed the first plea, detailing the alleged murder and body disposal, with the prosecution supporting his application subject to conditions. The court has reserved its order on these requests. Darshan's defense opposes the move, citing procedural concerns. The case remains under trial with multiple accused and extensive evidence.
