Renukaswamy murder case, the Karnataka HC has approved interim bail for actor Darshan, grounds of medical condition

The Karnataka High Court has granted interim bail to Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeep Srinivas for medical reasons, enabling him to proceed with necessary spine surgery. Darshan has been detained as a suspect in the Renukaswamy murder case. Justice S. Vishwajith Shetty, sitting on a single judge bench, reserved the order after considering the arguments from both sides. During the hearing, the court advised the petitioner to seek a second opinion from doctors at a government hospital in Bengaluru instead of obtaining a report from a private institution. The actor is not obligated to be admitted exclusively to a Mysore hospital, as he had requested.
