In a big development in the Renuka Swamy murder case, Karnataka police has now recovered wooden clubs and iron rods with which Kanada actor Darshan and his aides allegedly assaulted Swamy. As reported by India Today, police sources have revealed that a series of evidences have been found which are now being further investigated.
Reportedly, cops have also recovered a rope which was allegedly used to tie Renuka Swamy. Besides this, the car which was allegedly used to abduct Renukaswamy from Chitradurga to Bengaluru has also been seized. Another car which was allegedly used to transport Renukaswamy’s body has also been recovered.
The news portal further claimed that Renuka Swamy’s clothes have been sent to the forensic team for further investigation. Meanwhile, cops are also investigating call records and WhatsApp chats of Darshan and his aides. CCTV footage of the place where Swamy was allegedly assaulted is also being examined.
Interestingly, this comes a day after Karnataka police officials also claimed that Darshan and his aides beat Renuka Swamy with sticks and threw him against the wall which led to his death. “It was Pavithra who instigated Darshan to punish Renukaswamy. Accordingly, the plan was hatched,” sources said.
Renuka Swamy was found dead at Sumanahalli Bridge in Bengaluru on June 8, 2024. He used to reportedly work at an Apollo Pharmacy branch in Chitradurga. Previously, police officials claimed that Renuka used to send vulgar messages to Kannada actress Pavithra Gowad, a friend of Darshan. Angry about this, Renuka Swamy was murdered and his dead body was allegedly thrown in a canal at Kamaksshipalya, Bengaluru in front of Darshan. Reportedly, eight of the accused have implicated Darshan, claiming his presence during Renuka Swamy’s assault.
Darshan was arrested by the Bengaluru police from Mysuru on June 11 following which he was sent to 6-day police custody. His connection to the Renuka Swamy murder is being probed.
15 people have been arrested in the case so far including Darshan and his close actress-friend Pavithra. On Thursday afternoon, Darshan’s co-star Pradosh and close aide Nagaraj were also arrested. Police sources claim that Nagaraj was looking after all the dealings of Darshan. He was reportedly also looking after Darshan’s farmhouse in Mysuru and was on the run ever since police arrested the actor earlier this week. Meanwhile, details about Pradosh’s connection to the murder case are not known as of now.
