In a major development in the Renukaswamy murder case, the Supreme Court has canceled the bail of seven accused, including Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and co-accused Pavitra Gowda. The apex court has directed that both be taken into custody and sent back to jail immediately.
A bench comprising Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan issued the order on Thursday, stating that A1 Pavitra Gowda and A2 Darshan must be arrested without delay. The cancellation of bail marks a significant turn in the high-profile case, which has been closely followed across Karnataka.
Former MP Ramya’s reaction
Soon after the verdict, actress and former MP Ramya (Divya Spandana) took to Instagram to share her views. Without naming individuals, she posted a brief but pointed message highlighting the importance of justice and equality. “The Supreme Court’s verdict has sent a strong message today. Everyone is equal before the law. Everyone should have faith in the court. Don’t take the law into your own hands,” she wrote in her Instagram story.
The case has drawn widespread public attention since Darshan’s arrest earlier this year, with Pavitra Gowda alleged to have played a central role. The latest Supreme Court order reinforces judicial accountability in cases involving influential figures. Authorities are expected to move swiftly to ensure the accused are taken back into custody in compliance with the court’s directive.
