Speaking to reporters, Dr G Parameshwar stressed that “no one in this country is bigger than the law” and that “the law is the same for everyone.” He urged all citizens to respect the law of the land, adding that the accused also have the right to continue their legal battle as permitted under the Constitution.
The minister confirmed that jail authorities have received instructions to strictly enforce rules and maintain vigilance regarding the custody of the accused. “The law must be followed, and we will ensure it is,” he said.
The Supreme Court earlier in the day set aside the Karnataka High Court’s order granting bail, citing serious concerns about legal propriety and fairness in the trial process. The accused are to be taken back into judicial custody immediately.
This latest development has intensified public attention on the case, which involves allegations of abduction, assault, and murder of Renukaswamy who allegedly sent obscene messages to Darshan’s friend, Pavithra Gowda.
