The Renukaswamy murder case has been unfolding with shocking new revelations, each more disturbing than the last. Darshan and his associates, Parappa and others, who have been in Agrahara Jail for months, are at the center of this harrowing incident. They were charged with kidnapping Renukaswamy from Chitradurga, bringing him to Bangalore, and brutally murdering him. The motive? Renukaswamy had sent obscene messages to Darshan's girlfriend, Pavitra Gowda.

During the police investigation, a chilling detail emerged: after brutally assaulting Renukaswamy, Darshan and his gang attempted to record an apology video. This revelation has added another layer of horror to an already gruesome case.

On the fateful day of the incident, Darshan and his gang attacked Renukaswamy with a level of brutality that defies belief. After the savage beating, the gang concocted a bizarre plan to force Renukaswamy to apologize on camera. Their intention was to make Renukaswamy beg for forgiveness, specifically to apologize for sending obscene messages and photos to Pavitra Gowda. They planned to post this video on social media as a form of public shaming.

However, the situation took a different turn. Renukaswamy was so severely beaten that he was barely conscious, let alone capable of speaking. Despite this, the gang tried to force him to say, "I will not send obscene messages or photos to Pavitra Gowda. I'm sorry."

During the attack, two members of the gang held Renukaswamy down while another stood in front of him with a mobile phone, ready to record the forced apology. The gang continued their relentless assault, insisting on an apology. But Renukaswamy was in no condition to comply. His injuries were so severe that he could not even sit or stand properly.

Seeing the extent of Renukaswamy's condition, Darshan decided to postpone the recording. "Let's tell you tomorrow," he said. The gang then moved Renukaswamy, who was critically injured, to a security room.

 
Renukaswamy's injuries were so extensive that he did not survive. His life slipped away shortly after the attack, leaving the gang in a state of panic. By the time Darshan left the scene, the other accused members were left to deal with the aftermath. They called Darshan to inform him of Renukaswamy's death.

The investigation revealed this macabre plan to the police, adding another twist to the already complex case. The police have since confiscated the mobile phones of the accused in an attempt to recover any relevant data and piece together the full extent of the crime.

This revelation has profound legal and ethical implications. It not only highlights the premeditated nature of the crime but also shows the gang's intent to further humiliate and dehumanize Renukaswamy, even in his last moments. The plan to record and share an apology video underscores a level of cruelty and callousness that is difficult to comprehend.

The investigators now face the daunting task of unraveling these additional layers of the crime. They are meticulously examining the mobile phones and other digital evidence to understand the full scope of the gang's actions and intentions.

 
This case sheds light on the disturbing trend of using digital platforms to further victimize individuals. The intent to record and disseminate a video of Renukaswamy's forced apology reveals a desire to publicly shame and punish him beyond the physical assault. It reflects a broader societal issue where digital humiliation is increasingly being used as a tool for vengeance.

Moreover, this case raises questions about the role of social media in amplifying such acts of cruelty. The potential for such videos to go viral and the irreversible damage they can cause to an individual's dignity and reputation is a growing concern.
