Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who has been arrested in connection with the murder of a fan name Renuka Swamy, is in police custody right now. The actor's 15 year-old-son from his first wife is facing the brunt of it all.

The actor's young son Vineesh is being bullied and trolled online after his father's arrest. The teenager took to his Instagram account talking about the unjust treatment metted out to him and his mother after his father's arrest.

In an Instagram story, Vineesh posted and wrote: “Thank you all for all the bad comments and offensive language towards my father and not considering that I am a 15-year-old with feelings, and even during this hard time when my mom and dad required support cursing at me won’t change that you everyone. (sic)”

Darshan and his partner, actress Pavithra Gowda along with 12 other accused are in police custody for six days, till June 17, for the murder of Renukaswamy. They were arrested on June 11.

Darshan was arrested while he was working out in his gym. Reports suggest that his fans are waiting outside police station seeking his release.

Two more arrests

Two more persons were arrested on Friday in connection with the Renukaswamy murder case, in which Darshan is an accused along with his friend Pavithra Gowda, police sources said.

Jagadish and Anukumar were taken into custody from the district headquarters town of Chitradurga by a team led by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Dinakar.

They are reportedly involved in kidnapping Renukaswamy from Chitradurga, the sources said.

Who was Renukasway?

Renukaswamy, a resident of Chitradurga, allegedly commented on the social media account of Gowda, a small-time actress, accusing her of creating a rift between the actor and his wife. He also allegedly used "indecent language" and posted offensive messages, according to police sources.

Police on Thursday arrested three people, including a close aide of Darshan, in connection with the case. They had also recovered CCTV footage purportedly showing the suspected abduction of the victim in a car.

According to sources, one of the accused, Raghavendra, who is part of Darshan's fan club in Chitradurga, had brought Renukaswamy to a shed in R R Nagar here, on the pretext that Darshan wanted to meet him. It was in this shed that he was allegedly tortured and killed.

The body was found near a storm-water drain next to an apartment in Sumanahalli on June 9.

Investigation is on

The investigation team is believed to have gathered enough evidence including CCTV footage, which could establish that Darshan was present during the alleged assault on Renukaswamy, leading to his death, sources said, adding that the victim had suffered multiple injuries on his body.

A police officer involved in the probe said the case is not like any other and is demanding in terms of efforts, forethought and volume. He said: "We are doing multi-tasking in terms of collection of information and evidence." Meanwhile, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara denied reports that "royal treatment" was being given to Darshan at the Annapoorneshwari Nagar police station, where he is currently held along with his arrested associates.

He said Darshan is being given similar treatment as given to any other accused, adding that neither 'Biryani' was served nor special facilities were being provided to him.
