Bengaluru: Actress and former MP Ramya has welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to cancel the bail granted to Sandalwood star Darshan Thoogudeepa and six others in connection with the Renukaswamy murder case, calling it a strong affirmation that the law applies equally to everyone.

In an Instagram post reacting to Thursday’s verdict, Ramya wrote, “The SC judgement today on setting aside bail to Darshan and others in the Renukaswamy murder case sends out a strong message - ALL ARE EQUAL BEFORE LAW.” She added, “To the rest of us I'd like to say- follow due process, keep faith in the justice system- it's long and hard but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Do not take law into your own hands, justice will be served. Most importantly, stay true to your consciousness.”

The case stems from the murder of 33-year-old Renukaswamy from Chitradurga, in which Darshan and several associates were arrested earlier this year. The actor was granted bail by the High Court, a decision now overturned by the apex court.

Ramya’s latest remarks come weeks after she had posted earlier comments on the case, which led to a backlash from a section of Darshan’s fans. She had lodged a police complaint alleging she received obscene and abusive messages following that post. Police subsequently arrested multiple individuals accused of sending the messages.

Chennai (PTI): Actor-politician Vijay on Monday claimed that the political atmosphere in Tamil Nadu is charged up due to TVK’s entry and urged his party cadres to strive for a victory in the upcoming Assembly election to Tamil Nadu and gain political recognition.

He said with the overwhelming support of the people, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam members should fight the electoral battle with determination and unity to "achieve the democratic goal of seizing the reins of governance."

Vijay launched the TVK on February 2, 2024.

In a post on 'X', Vijay said, "The joyful third year of TVK begins today. Having completed two years naturally and beyond the norm, our political journey continues."

He claimed the TVK was an "immeasurable deep sea" which ignored distractions and never lost its balance in its political journey. The party was the "victorious battle cry of power politics for the common people," Vijay claimed.

The 2026 Assembly election, he said, carried a new environment that had never seen before.

"Everyone says that the only reason for this is our political beginning. Therefore, in this situation, let us make the field our own, and with clear and skillful strategy, move towards political recognition through electoral victory," the actor said.

"With the overwhelming support of all the people, let us fight with determination and unity, and firmly achieve the democratic goal of seizing the throne," Vijay further said.
