The chargesheet mentions that the victim’s bloodstains were discovered on the clothing of some of the accused, including Pavithra Gowda. This fact has been verified with the assistance of FSL reports, which are an important piece of evidence. It also mentions details about photographs of the victim’s body which was recovered from the mobile phone of one of the accused. These pictures were allegedly taken at the scene of crime (parking shed) after Renukaswamy’s death and sent to other prime accused in the case, police sources said.
Dress, shoes and money used by Darshan to cover up the case have also been recovered by the police, details of which have been mentioned in the chargesheet, they said.
Darshan was notified by the victim’s assistant, Pavan, that he was sending explicit messages and images to Pavithra Gowda using a fake Instagram account. They further said that after that, the actor instructed Raghavendra, the president of his supporters’ group in Chitradurga, to arrange for Renukaswamy to travel to Bangalore. On June 9, the victim, a Lakshmi Venkateshwara Layout resident, was discovered dead next to an apartment building in Sumanahalli, close to a stormwater drain. Under the guise of wanting to meet, he was summoned to the site.
