Actress Pavithra Gowda, the primary accused (A1) in the high-profile Renukaswamy murder case, has suffered another legal setback after a session’s court rejected her bail application on Tuesday. After the Supreme Court cancelled her previous appeal, Gowda had submitted a fresh bail plea. Advocate Balan, who is her legal representative presented arguments in her favour, urging the court to grant her bail. However, the Sessions Court remained unconvinced.
The 64th Sessions Court, overseen by Judge IP Naik, delivered its verdict after reserving the order following the hearing. The court rejected Pavithra Gowda’s latest request for bail, ending her hopes of an early release.
After initially securing bail and spending time with her family, as well as managing her business and temple activities, her freedom was short-lived.
Acting on a police request, the Supreme Court revoked the bail granted to seven individuals accused in the case, including actress Pavithra Gowda, actor Darshan, and Pradosh.
Following this decision, Pavithra was arrested from her home on 14 August and taken back to Parappana Agrahara Central Jail.
According to police, Renukaswamy, a fan of actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, had sent obscene messages to the actor's friend, Pavithra Gowda. This allegedly enraged Darshan and led to Renukaswamy's murder. His body was discovered on 9 June near a storm-water drain next to an apartment building in Sumanahalli.
