SC pauses decision on canceling actor Darshan's bail in murder case
The Supreme Court has paused its decision on whether to cancel actor Darshan's bail in the Renukaswamy murder case.
Darshan and others are accused of kidnapping and brutally torturing 33-year-old Renukaswamy, a fan who allegedly sent inappropriate messages to actress Pavithra Gowda.
After being held in a Bengaluru shed for three days, Renukaswamy was found dead in a drain.
HC wasn't 'convinced' how it granted Darshan bail
A bench led by Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan heard arguments from both sides and is now reserving its judgment.
The Supreme Court wasn't happy with how the Karnataka High Court granted bail, saying it wasn't "convinced by the manner in which discretion was exercised."
The state government wants Darshan's bail canceled, worried he could mess with evidence or pressure witnesses while out on bail.
