Three Accused Seek Approver Status in Renukaswamy Murder Trial Involving Actor Darshan
In the Renukaswamy murder case, three accused—Pradosh Rao, Ravi Shankar, and Vinay Raghavendra—have petitioned a Bengaluru sessions court to become approvers, potentially aiding the prosecution against actor Darshan and others. The court has reserved its decision until August 10, considering objections from co-accused. The prosecution supports the applications, emphasizing the need for full disclosure, while defense lawyers have raised concerns about procedure and notification. The outcome could impact the ongoing trial dynamics.
