Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has granted interim bail for six weeks to actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who is currently held in connection with the Renukaswamy murder case, to allow him to undergo surgery.
The bail application was approved by Justice S Vishwajith Shetty, following the actor's request for medical treatment at a private hospital in Mysuru.
Darshan, who has been in Ballari Prison since his arrest on June 11, submitted his application for interim bail on September 21. His regular bail application, challenging a lower court’s earlier rejection of bail, remains pending in the High Court.
