Two Accused Seek Approver Status in Renukaswamy Murder Case Involving Actor Darshan
Two accused in the 2024 Renukaswamy murder case, involving Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, have petitioned a Bengaluru court to become approvers, offering full disclosure of the alleged crime. Pradosh S filed an 11-page plea seeking pardon and separate custody, while another accused, Vinay, has also sought similar status. The prosecution supports Pradosh's plea subject to conditions, noting his testimony could be crucial. The court has reserved its decision, expected by August 10, 2026.
