# Darshan Completes Year in Custody as High Court Rejects Plea 2026-08-15T12:52:27+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Actor Darshan Thoogudeepa has completed a year in custody in the Renukaswamy murder case. His wife, Vijayalakshmi, said in a social media post that the pain remained unchanged and that she had stopped explaining the situation to others, leaving it to time and God. The Karnataka High Court on August 13 dismissed Darshan’s challenge to a trial court order concerning co-accused Pradosh’s request to become an approver. Justice M. Nagaprasanna said co-accused cannot oppose such an application at that stage. The order does not make Pradosh an approver. Darshan was arrested in June 2024, granted bail in December 2024 and taken back into custody on August 14, 2025, after the Supreme Court cancelled his bail. ## Coverage - cinemaexpress.com Tags: Darshan Thoogudeepa, Karnataka High Court, Pradosh, Renukaswamy, Vijayalakshmi Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/darshan-completes-year-in-custody-as-high-court-rejects-plea/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
