Superstar Darshan Seeks Early Bail: Trial Too Slow?
25 Jun
Summary
- Superstar Darshan filed a fresh plea for bail in the Supreme Court.
- He cited the slow progress of the trial as grounds for early release.
- The court previously rejected his bail and allowed a review after one year.
Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa has approached the Supreme Court for a new bail plea concerning the Renukaswamy abduction and murder case. He contends that the trial is moving at a slow pace, which he believes justifies seeking bail before completing a full year in jail. The Supreme Court had previously denied his bail on May 15, 2026, suggesting he could reapply after a year if the trial hadn't progressed sufficiently.
In his latest application, Darshan seeks to ensure the Supreme Court's previous order does not preclude him from filing a fresh bail application earlier. He has also cited potential health issues and prolonged detention as reasons for reconsidering his bail status, emphasizing his cooperation with investigators. The actor was taken into custody in June 2024, and his prior bail was revoked in August 2025.
