This incident has sparked a debate, with many questioning Pavithra Gowda’s apparent lack of remorse over the murder of Darshan’s fan, Renukaswamy. A notice has been issued to the Sub-Inspector from the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) West, seeking clarification on the matter.
Meanwhile, Pavithra Gowda’s mother and daughter visited her at the Central Prison, where sources report that she broke down during their meeting.

In a related development, authorities have ordered the seizure of two US-made pistols owned by Darshan. His associate Pradosh, who is also in prison related to the case, has one pistol. Both had licenses and were officially exempted to keep the arms during the Lok Sabha elections. Directions have been given to the jurisdictional RR Nagar and Girinagar police to seize the arms from the residences of the accused.
Darshan, Pavithra Gowda, and 15 others have been arrested on charges of murdering 33-year-old Renukaswamy, a resident of Chitradurga.
The investigation revealed that Renukaswamy, a devoted fan of Darshan, had sent derogatory messages to Pavithra Gowda on social media. The victim was allegedly kidnapped, brought to Bengaluru, kept in a shed, and tortured to death. Darshan is in judicial custody until July 4.
