Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, arrested again in August for the Renukaswamy murder case, told the court that life in jail has become unbearable. He added, “Please pass an order to give me poison in court.”
During a video hearing at the 64th City Civil and Sessions Court, he said he had not seen sunlight for over a month and developed a fungal infection on his hands. Upon hearing his plea to kill, the judge immediately instructed Darshan not to make such a demand.
Breaking down in tears, Darshan pleaded, “I can’t live like this anymore. Please give me poison.” He also asked for basic items like a pillow, bedsheets, and home-cooked food. After the judge spoke, he nodded quietly and remained silent.
Darshan, who looked strong at the time of arrest, appeared weak during the hearing. His alleged girlfriend, actress Pavithra Gowda, was also arrested at her Bengaluru home.
A video showed her being taken by police, visibly upset as the media surrounded her house. This news is now being shared online as the fans show sympathy to Darshan, who wants to kill himself.
But there are other netizens who do not want to support him and feel that he deserves the punishment.
