Actor Darshan admitted in Bengaluru hospital to treat back, leg pain
Bengaluru, Nov 1: Days after he was granted bail on medical grounds, actor Darshan has been admitted to a private hospital in Kengeri, Bengaluru due to back pain, sources said on Friday.
He was accompanied by his wife Vijayalakshmi.
On October 30, the High Court of Karnataka had granted the actor, who was arrested for the alleged murder of his fan Renukaswamy, interim bail for six weeks on medical grounds.
Dr Naveen Appaji Gowda, who is treating Darshan, told reporters on Friday that the actor has back as well as leg pain.
"His left leg is weak. We are thinking about what can be done next. We haven't started any investigation. We have only done examinations. After the examination, we have ordered an investigation. After the investigation we will get to know what exactly has happened," added Dr Gowda.
According to him, they will do MRI, X-Ray and blood tests.
"We did not get his previous MRI films and test reports. So, we need to do an MRI once again. We have to admit him," Dr Gowda added.
He also said before these reports are looked at, which he said they will get in 24 to 48 hours, it is difficult to tell whether the actor needs surgical intervention.
"After the investigation, we will get to know what the problem is, whether operation is required or physiotherapy is sufficient."
Darshan and actor Pavithra Gowda have been booked under charges related to the kidnapping and murder of 33-year-old Renukaswamy.
The state presented medical reports in a sealed cover from doctors at Ballari Central Prison, where Darshan is lodged, and the head of the department of neurology at a government hospital in Ballari.
Darshan’s lawyer had claimed the actor was experiencing numbness in both feet and requested permission for his surgery to be performed at a private hospital in Mysuru.
Darshan had reportedly gone to his wife Vijayalakshmi’s home in Hosakere village in Tumukuru after he was released on October 30 and his fans had gathered outside the house in such huge numbers that the security struggled to manage them.
They were asked to leave by Darshan’s teenaged son Vineesh, stating that they have a gag order from the high court not to talk to anyone.
However, the fans again crowded the hospital in Kengeri where he was admitted on Friday.

Tehran/Doha: Iran’s President Massoud Pezeshkian has warned that attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure could lead to “uncontrollable consequences” affecting the entire world.

“Such aggressive actions will not achieve anything for the American Zionist enemy and their supporters. Rather, they will complicate the situation and could lead to uncontrollable consequences that will affect the entire world,” he said.
Meanwhile, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has urged residents to remain indoors due to what it described as an elevated security threat.
