Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa is currently having a hard time in judicial custody at Bengaluru’s Central Prison. He has been arrested in the Renukaswamy murder case. Darshan was arrested on June 11, and it has been more than a month since the actor has been behind bars.
Darshan’s wife Vijayalakshmi is fighting a legal battle demanding that her husband should be brought out of jail. Vijayalakshmi went to Kollur temple for Darshan. She also performed Nava Chandika Homa by offering a special pooja to Goddess Mookambika.
It is said that Vijayalakshmi, who visited the Agrahara Jail of Parappa yesterday to see Darshan, gave holy prasad to him. Along with Vijayalakshmi, Darshan’s brother Dinkar Thoogudeepa and Darshan’s son also visited the jail.
Reportedly, the family encouraged Darshan and gave him support. Vijayalakshmi told Darshan not to worry and to take care of his health. Darshan’s brother Dinkar Thoogudeepa also offered a special pooja to Goddess Chamundeshwari of Mysore for Darshan.
Recently, Darshan urged the Karnataka High Court to request permission for home-cooked food, personal clothing, bedding, cutlery, and books. As per reports, the actor’s health has deteriorated in prison. The Renukaswamy murder case has been in the news for a while now. Many names have been involved in the case.
According to reports, Darshan has been behind bars since June 11. Recently, he demanded home-cooked food during his stay in jail. This is mainly because the Kannada actor claims that the prison food is causing severe health issues, including weight loss and diarrhoea, which have been diagnosed as food poisoning by prison doctors.
As per Section 30 of the Karnataka Prisons Act, 1963, undertrial prisoners are entitled to receive proper food, clothing and other necessities, subject to examination by prison authorities. His requests for the home-cooked food have been denied by the prison officers, who argued that they needed a court order.
