In a shocking turn of events, Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa's manager, Sridhar, who was responsible for managing Darshan's Bengaluru farmhouse, tragically died by suicide on the property. Sridhar left behind a suicide note and a video message, which were found near his body. In both the note and video, he cited extreme loneliness as the reason for his decision and urged authorities not to involve his loved ones in the matter. He clearly stated that he alone was responsible for his death. ALSO READ: Renuka Swamy Murder Case: Darshan Thoogudeepa’s Associates Recreate Murder Scene For Police During Investigation
The police have now launched an investigation to determine if there is any connection between Sridhar's suicide and the Renuka Swamy murder case, in which Darshan is implicated. This development comes just a day after reports surfaced that Darshan's former manager, Mallikarjun, has been missing since 2018. Mallikarjun allegedly stole Rs 2 crore from the actor before disappearing.
Darshan's legal troubles escalated when he was arrested on June 12, after being named as an accused in the Renuka Swamy murder case. According to reports, the incident began when Renuka sent inappropriate messages to Darshan's girlfriend, actress Pavithra Gowda. This angered Darshan, who then allegedly orchestrated a plan to deal with Renuka. It is reported that Darshan paid a significant amount of money to a group of his fans, instructing them to kidnap, assault, and eventually murder Renuka. After the murder, Renuka's body was disposed of in a drain in Bengaluru.
Pavithra Gowda has also been implicated in the case and is currently in jail. The complexities of the situation have drawn significant attention, with Sridhar's suicide adding another layer of tragedy to the already convoluted case. The investigation aims to unravel the full extent of the connections between these events and bring clarity to the disturbing circumstances surrounding Darshan and his associates.
The revelations have shocked fans and the public alike, as Darshan's professional and personal life continues to be marred by controversy. The ongoing investigation will be crucial in determining the true extent of Darshan's involvement and the broader implications of these tragic events.
