In a hearing on Tuesday, Darshan's lawyer stated that the doctors have advised him to undergo surgery for his back pain. Following this, the Karnataka High Court directed the prosecution to submit a medical report on his condition. The court has now postponed the hearing on Darshan's bail plea to October 28.

Earlier, Darshan had approached the Karnataka High Court for bail on October 14, 2024, after his plea was denied by the trial court.

The trial court said, "If Darshan is released on bail, there is every chance that he will tamper with the prosecution witnesses. He may also threaten the witnesses."

The statement was made about the allegation that Darshan had paid money to destroy the evidence in the murder of Renukaswamy on June 8.

Darshan earlier confessed to torturing Renukaswamy. According to the 3,991-page chargesheet, Darshan told the cops that he hit Renukaswamy with a tree branch and also kicked him on his head, chest and near his neck.

It all began when Renukaswamy, who claimed to be a fan of Pavithra Gowda, allegedly sent lewd messages to the actress, which enraged Darshan, who was Gowda's live-in partner.
