Court Approves Co-Accused as Approver in Renukaswamy Murder Case Involving Actor Darshan
A Bengaluru court has approved co-accused Pradosh Rao's plea to become an approver in the Renukaswamy murder case involving Kannada actor Darshan and others. Pradosh will testify for the prosecution, disclose all relevant facts, and remain in custody until trial completion. The court warned that failure to comply could revoke his approver status.
