According to the report by News18, Vijayalakshmi visited the Agrahara Jail of Parappa on July 29 and gave holy prasad to Darshan.  Along with her, Darshan’s brother, Dinkar Thoogudeepa, and his son Vineesh Thoogudeepa also visited the actor in jail.

Darshan Thoogudeepa moves High Court once again for food, clothes, cutlery

Meanwhile, Darshan has again moved the High Court, seeking directions from the prison authorities to provide access to home-cooked food, clothes, and cutlery. 

Earlier, on July 25, a Bengaluru court had rejected the petition filed by the Kannada actor for home-cooked food, separate clothing, and bedding in prison.

As per the arguments by Darshan’s advocate, the food provided to the actor is not sufficient to maintain his physique and muscular body. However, the Special Public Prosecutor stated that Darshan cannot be given special treatment only on account of being an influential person. 

Darshan Thoogudeepa’s case

The nation was stunned when the Bengaluru police arrested Sandalwood actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and his alleged partner Pavithra Gowda on June 11. This arrest was made in connection with the murder of Renuka Swamy. 

As per reports, Darshan allegedly instigated the murder after the victim sent vulgar and derogatory messages to Gowda. Not just that, Swamy had accused her of Darshan’s troublesome marriage. This did not go well with Darshan and Pavithra. Later, the victim was found dead after being subjected to severe torture.
