A Bengaluru court has rejected the bail applications of actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, his alleged partner Pavithra Gowda, and two others in the Renukaswamy murder case. The court, however, granted bail to two other accused in the case. Darshan was arrested on June 11 for allegedly inciting his fans to attack and kill Renukaswamy for making defamatory statements about Pavithra Gowda on social media. The court's decision has sparked controversy and raised concerns about the misuse of celebrity influence.
