Darshan Thoogudeepa must surrender, or the state will move to arrest him, asserted a top aide of the Karnataka chief minister, moments after the Supreme Court cancelled the bail given to the popular Kannada actor in a fan's murder case.
The actor is a key accused in the Renukaswamy murder case that had sent shockwaves through the Kannada film industry last year. He must be taken into custody, ordered a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan this morning, stating that the trial may be impacted and the witnesses influenced if the actor remains out on bail.
AS Ponnanna, legal advisor to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, also assured that no VIP treatment will be given to the murder-accused actor in jail.
