Bengaluru: Former MP and actress Ramya has lashed out at actor Darshan, Prajwal Revanna, former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, and Suraj Revanna, who are facing allegations of sexual assault and murder.

In a post on the social networking site 'X', Ramya criticized the rich and powerful individuals accused of breaking the law, stating, "The ones breaking the law who have been in the news are the rich and powerful and the ones at the receiving end of their violent actions are the poor, women & children. The common people of Karnataka. Hats off to the police and media for bringing these crimes out. Justice will truly be done when trial is expedited and the cases are taken to their logical conclusion. If justice doesn’t prevail- then what message are we giving to the public?”
