When asked by the judge if the accused was making the request to remain in Bengaluru in relation to the Renukaswamy murder case, the advocate replied in the affirmative. He added that Pradosh only requested the HC to cancel the order to shift him from the A14 Parappana Agrahara Jail as he had no role in the video clip on the jail inmates’ activities that went viral on social media.
