Expressing its displeasure, the Supreme Court on Thursday said it felt the Karnataka High Court did not "exercise its discretion properly" while granting bail to actor Darshan Thoogudeepa in the case involving the murder of his fan Renukaswamy.
The 33-year-old was allegedly abducted by Darshan and his aides from Chitradurga and then tortured in a shed in Bengaluru in June last year over obscene messages sent to Darshan's alleged partner, actor Pavithra Gowda. After Renukaswamy died, his body was thrown into a drain.
