Shiva Rajkumar REACTS To Darshan's Arrest, Says He Feels Sad Looking At His Son: 'Let’s Wait For...'

Kannada actor Shiva Rajkumar addressed Darshan’s arrest at the new Producers Association Building inauguration. He sympathised with both Darshan and the victim Renukaswamy’s families and said that he is cautioned about commenting on the case, as per Times Now.

He reportedly said, “There is such a thing as destiny. There is nothing we can do when it comes to that. One has to think first about whether they’re right before saying something. It hurts when something like this happens.” Shiva stressed the need to wait for the investigation to finish before making any conclusions. He added, “Both Renukaswamy and Darshan’s family are pained by this. I feel sad looking at Darshan’s son. We must face everything. An investigation is underway. Let’s wait for the outcome. What must happen will happen. I don’t want to say anything more on this. Everything is destiny.”

Darshan is being probed in connection to the Renuka Swamy murder case. Swamy was found dead in Bengaluru on June 8, 2024. He used to reportedly work at an Apollo Pharmacy branch in Chitradurga. It has been alleged that Renuka used to send vulgar messages to Kannada actress Pavithra Gowad, a friend of Darshan. Angry about this, Renuka Swamy was murdered and his dead body was allegedly thrown in a canal at Kamaksshipalya, Bengaluru in front of Darshan. Reportedly, eight of the accused have implicated Darshan, claiming his presence during Renuka Swamy’s assault. The Kannada actor was arrested on June 11.

Meanwhile, Darshan Thoogudeepa’s wife, Vijayalakshmi issued her first statement ever since his arrest in the Renuka Swamy murder case. On Wednesday, Vijayalakshmi shared a fan art on her Instagram handle which featured Darshan’s fans forming a human chain to reach a hilltop where a flag reads ‘D Boss’. Vijayalakshmi penned down a long note as she hoped for justice.

Vijayalakshmi talked about her meeting with Darshan in jail recently and claimed that he has asked his fans to stay calm. “Call for all our Celebrities – You all know how much Darshan loves you. It is sad that we are in this situation today and that we have to stay at a distance from him. I have spoken to him in detail about the situation outside and it has touched his heart. He has urged all his celebrities to stay calm and focus on doing good deeds and he is sure that he will be part of your prayers,” Vijayalakshmi wrote in Kannada as quoted by Hindustan Times.
