Kannada superstar Darshan, who was arrested in the sensational fan murder case, and Prajwal Revanna, former JD(S) MP convicted in the obscene video and rape case, did not participate in the 79th Independence Day celebrations held at the Bengaluru Central Prison, sources said on Friday.Darshan was arrested on Thursday (August 14) following the Supreme Courtâs cancellation of his bail, while Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, has been in prison for over a year, and the Special Court on August 1 convicted him to a life term until his death.
Sources stated that both are in a state of depression following these developments and chose to remain in their barracks.
Sources further stated that Darshan did not sleep throughout the night in the prison.
According to sources, all accused, including Darshan, have been assigned remand prisoner numbers. Darshanâs prisoner number is 7314 and Darshan’s partner Pavitra Gowda’s number is 7313. Pavitra Gowda is the first accused in the fan murder case.
The last time Darshan was arrested, many fans had created tattoos with his prisoner number, which sparked controversy and even led to police cases being filed. Currently, Darshan and the other three accused have been placed in the same barrack.
Meanwhile, film actress Ramya, who faced brutal trolling from Darshanâs fans after she posted that the family of the deceased man Renukaswamy in the fan murder case should receive justice, reacted to the media by saying that Darshan should have kept better company.
