Actor Darshan’s bail cancelled by Supreme Court in Renukaswamy murder case
- On August 14, 2025, the Supreme Court revoked the bail previously issued by the Karnataka High Court to Kannada film star Darshan Thoogudeepa along with six other individuals in connection with the Renukaswamy homicide case.
- This cancellation followed the Karnataka government's appeal against the High Court's December 13, 2024 bail order, which the Supreme Court described as a perverse and mechanical exercise interfering with the trial process.
- Renukaswamy, a 33-year-old autodriver, was abducted, tortured, and murdered in Bengaluru in June 2024, with Darshan and others charged amid a 3,991-page chargesheet including multiple accused.
- The two-judge bench of Justices Pardiwala and Mahadevan ordered Darshan's immediate surrender, noting the bail order's infirmities and warning against any special prison treatment for the accused.
- The verdict emphasized that no individual is above the law and highlighted that allowing Darshan to remain on bail posed a real risk to justice and trial integrity.
