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.
