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.
