No evidence that Renukaswamy died in shed, argues lawyer of accused; HC adjourns hearing to Dec 3
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court bench that heard the bail petitions of Kannada film star Darshan Thoogudeepa in the Renukaswamy murder case on Friday has scheduled the next hearing for December 3, following senior advocate Sandesh Chouta’s argument that there was no evidence of the victim dying in a shed at Pattanagere, West Bengaluru.
Chouta, who represented Accused No 11 Nagaraju in court, told the bench on Friday that the statements recorded by the police do not carry any evidence that the accused had an intention to kill Renukaswamy or knowledge to cause murder, reports Deccan Herald. There were also no bloodstains recorded in the injunctions on Nagaraju’s footwear and clothes during the recovery, although the forensic report states so, the advocate pointed out.
He added during the hearing that, with the case having 12 assailants, the assault on Renukaswamy could, at best, be an incident of grievous injury or culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Justice Shetty, who heard the case, adjourned the hearing till December 3.

Shivamogga: Rowdy sheeter brutally killed in broad daylight
Shivamogga: A 38-year-old rowdy sheeter, Rajesh Shetty, was hacked to death in broad daylight by a group of assailants near Bomanakatte on Saturday here.
The attack occurred around 1 PM near a garage close to Marammanagudi on the old Bommanakatte main road.
Sources suggest that the murder was motivated by an old grudge. Rajesh Shetty, a rowdy sheeter listed at the Vinoba Nagar police station with seven cases against him, reportedly died on the spot due to the severity of the assault.
Additional Superintendent of Police Anil Kumar Bhooma Reddy and officers from the Vinoba Nagar police station visited the crime scene and initiated an investigation.
District Defense Officer GK Mithun Kumar informed the media that three special teams have been formed to track down the culprits. He stated, "We have obtained information about the accused, and preliminary findings indicate that the killing was driven by personal reasons."
