A fan pedals 500 km to meet murder suspect Darshan: Requests the cops for a rendezvous with the jailed Kannada star

Gather ’round, my dear Bollywood buffs! Buckle up for a wild ride through the murky lanes of stardom and scandal, as your beloved Bollywood Newshound Nisha unveils yet another juicy tale. 🍿

Darshan Thugudeepa: From Reel Hero to Real-Life Villain?

Darshan Thugudeepa—the Kannada superstar who once ruled hearts with his on-screen heroics—is currently cooling his heels in Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara jail. Oh, the irony! His crime? Allegedly orchestrating the murder of a fan, Renukaswamy. Yup, you heard it right—murder! And if you think this plot can’t get any thicker, hold onto your popcorn. 🎬

The Loyal Fan Who Traveled 500 KM for a Glimpse

Enter Suryakant—Darshan’s die-hard fan who journeyed a whopping 500 kilometers on a tricycle to meet his idol in jail. Talk about dedication! Suryakant pleaded with the police to let him see Darshan just once. "Just one look, officer, and I’ll be on my way," he probably begged. Unfortunately, the police turned him away, citing Darshan’s refusal to meet anyone but his family. Heartbreaking, isn’t it? 💔

The Financial Aid Throwback

Suryakant even revealed a touching backstory: back in 2003, Darshan had helped him financially when he was in dire straits, gifting him ₹50,000. It’s like something straight out of a Bollywood script, except this time, it’s painfully real. 🎭

The Murder Mystery Unfolds

Here’s the lowdown: Darshan and his close associate, actress Pavitra Gowda, are accused of kidnapping and torturing Renukaswamy before killing him. The motive? Renukaswamy’s incessant, and let’s be honest, quite creepy, messages to Pavitra, urging her to stay away from Darshan. When polite ignorance didn’t work, he resorted to threatening messages. Classic stalker behavior! 🙄

From Anniversary Celebrations to Arrests

In a twist that only Bollywood could conjure, Pavitra and Darshan celebrated their 10th anniversary in January 2024, despite Darshan being a married man. Scandalous much? This event triggered Renukaswamy’s rage, leading to his relentless harassment of Pavitra. She, in turn, allegedly goaded Darshan into taking drastic action. And by "drastic," I mean murder. 😱

The Crime Scene Clues

The plot thickened when Renukaswamy’s body was discovered near an apartment in Kamakshipalya on June 9. CCTV footage captured Darshan and Pavitra fleeing the crime scene. Their mobile numbers were also traced to the same location during the crime’s timeline. Caught red-handed, much? 📱

Police Nab 19 Suspects

By June 11, both Darshan and Pavitra were behind bars, and the police have since arrested 19 people related to the case. It’s like a real-life version of ‘Crime Patrol,’ but with celebrities. 🕵️‍♂️

Nisha’s Nutshell 🤔

Moral of the Story: In Bollywood, truth is stranger than fiction, loyalty knows no bounds, and even heroes have dark sides. So, dear stars, maybe stick to on-screen drama and leave the murder plots to the scriptwriters, okay?
