Actor Darshan, a well-known Kannada film star, appeared in the City Civil and Sessions Court via video conference on September 10, 2025, and expressed that the conditions in prison have become unbearable for him. Darshan is one of the key accused in the Renukaswamy murder case, and his emotional plea caught everyone’s attention in the courtroom.
Darshan Breaks Down Over Harsh Prison Conditions
Darshan said that he has been locked in his cell and is not even allowed to walk inside the prison. He mentioned that he has not seen sunlight for many days, and his hands have developed fungal infections. He also complained that his clothes smell and that he cannot live like this anymore. In a dramatic appeal, he even asked the court to direct prison authorities to provide him with some poison, saying life in prison has become extremely difficult.
In response to his complaints, the judge instructed the prison officials to allow Darshan to walk inside the prison and provide him with basic necessities like pillows and bed-sheets, following the prison manual. However, the court did not direct Darshan to be moved to Ballari Central Prison. The court said that any violations or misbehavior can be addressed by the Departments of Prisons and Correctional Services. The case was adjourned to September 19, 2025.

Initially, he was lodged in Parappana Agarahara Central Prison, where he reportedly received preferential treatment, causing controversy. He was later shifted to Ballari prison. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to him by the Karnataka High Court after taking note of alleged irregularities during his stay in prison.
