Judge reserves order on Darshan's petition for home-cooked meals in jail
Leela Raghavendra filed the petition to the 24th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate on behalf of Darshan, an undertrial in Renuka Swamy’s murder case. The petition seeks home-cooked meals and a proper bed in jail.
As per a report in Vartha Bharati, Darshan’s advocate stated that the actor is facing undue hardship and adverse publicity because of his fame and is thus being denied the facilities he rightfully deserves.
According to Raghavendra, undertrial prisoners may receive food, clothing, and bedding from home if they are unable to provide for themselves.
He cited that the Inspector General of Police has the authority to grant such permission and that prison authorities should provide facilities if the prisoners cannot arrange them. Further, the advocate argued that denying Darshan home-cooked meals violates Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty.

Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and his alleged girlfriend Pavithra Gowda were arrested by the Bengaluru police on June 11. The arrest was made in connection with the murder of Renuka Swamy, a 33-year-old man.
As per reports, the Sandalwood star had instructed to murder Swamy after the victim sent vulgar and derogatory messages to Gowda. Renuka had even accused her of Darshan’s troublesome marriage.
