Ramya welcomes Supreme Court order cancelling Darshan’s bail, says ‘ALL ARE EQUAL BEFORE LAW’
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.

West Asia: India supplied 22,000 MT of high-speed diesel to Bangladesh in March, says MEA
New Delhi (PTI): Amid the ongoing West Asia conflict, India has supplied 22,000 metric tonnes of high-speed diesel to Bangladesh in March and has received a request from Seychelles and the Maldives to meet their energy requirements, the MEA said on Friday.
At his weekly briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal in his response to a query related to requests received from India's neighbouring countries for fuel amid the West Asia situation, also said that India is "finalising a government-to-government agreement" for the supply of oil and gas, which will play an important role in reinforcing energy security of Mauritius.
The conflict in West Asia has now stretched to nearly 50 days, with global ramifications.
"So, we have received requests from our neighbouring countries for supply of fuel, and these are being looked into, keeping in mind our own requirements, availability and refining capacity," Jaiswal told reporters.
He further said India has "supplied 22,000 metric tonnes of high-speed diesel to Bangladesh in March 2026, and further supplies have continued this month as well".
"You would recall that last month we had supplied 38 metric tonnes of petroleum products to Sri Lanka as well," he added.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited Mauritius last week, the MEA spokesperson said, adding, "We are finalising a government-to-government agreement for supply of oil and gas, which will play an important role in reinforcing the energy security of Mauritius".
As far as Nepal is concerned, there is an existing arrangement between Indian Oil Corporation and Nepal Oil Corporation to supply petroleum products to Nepal as per its requirements. The supplies are continuing without any interruption, he said.
Energy supplies to Bhutan also continue according to the existing arrangement.
"As I had mentioned earlier, we have received a request from Seychelles and the Maldives to meet their energy requirements. We continue to be in touch with them in this regard, and are considering the request keeping in mind our own domestic requirements and availability of fuel.
"I would also like to add that our neighbouring country governments have expressed appreciation for the uninterrupted supply, fuel supply to them during the West Asian conflict," Jaiswal said.
Global oil and gas prices surged after Iran restricted the transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow lane between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman that handles roughly 20 per cent of global oil and LNG trade.
