Darshan Thoogudeepa has filed the petition at the Karnataka High Court through his advocate, Praveen Thimmaiah. In addition to requesting homemade food and a bed, the actor has also asked for permission to procure books from his home.
The advocate has urged the court to take up the petition on an urgent basis. The actor had previously made the same requests to the jail authorities, but they were denied due to the lack of a court order.

For those unaware, Sandalwood star Darshan Thoogudeepa is facing judicial custody over the recent murder of 33-year-old man, Renuka Swamy.
According to reports, the actor had apparently murdered the young man after the latter had made some obscene comments against his alleged lover and actress Pavithra Gowda. The young man was apparently a fan of the actor and visited him at his request but was later found dead after being subjected to severe torture.
The victim’s body was later recovered from a location near the actor’s residence which eventually led to the actor and his alleged partner’s arrest. Moreover, as the investigation into the matter progresses, Darshan is likely to appear before the court soon in regard to bail.
