Renukaswamy murder case: Kannada film director Milana Prakash questioned
Bengaluru: Kannada film director Milana Prakash was on Friday questioned by the police in the Renukaswamy murder case.
Actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, his co-star Pavithra Gowda and 15 others are in judicial custody in connection with the case.
Soon after Renukaswamy's murder, Darshan had gone for the shooting of the Kannada film titled 'Devil'.
The police recorded the statement of Mr Prakash and former Deputy Mayor of Bengaluru Mohan Raj at Basaveshwara police station.
Meanwhile, Darshan's wife Vijayalakshmi Darshan wrote to Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda requesting him to set right records that she was the wife of the actor and not Pavithra Gowda.
"While addressing the media initially, you wrongly addressed Smt Pavithra Gowda as Darshan Srinivas' wife, which was furthered by all including the Home Minister of Karnataka as well as the national media," she wrote in her letter.
Vijayalakshmi said she is the only legally wedded wife of the 48-year-old actor.
Darshan's fan Renukaswamy from Chitradurga was murdered on June 8 for allegedly sending lewd messages to Pavithra Gowda.

RS proceedings adjourned for day amid opposition protest over Adani bribery row, other issues
New Delhi(PTI): Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Wednesday as opposition members insisted on a discussion on various issues, including bribery charges related to the Adani Group.
The proceedings were briefly adjourned in the morning session due to opposition protest, and when the House re-assembled at 11.30 AM, there were identical scenes.
This prompted Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar to adjourn the proceedings for the day, saying the "House is not in order".
The trobule started after Dhankhar rejected 18 notices under a rule of the House to suspend scheduled business and take up issues mentioned in the notices.
The notices related to demand for 'constitution of a JPC to investigate the alleged misconduct, including corruption, bribery, financial irregularities of the Adani Group in connivance with other authorities', violence in Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh and rising incidents of crime in the national capital.
"Upper House needs to reflect and follow well-established traditions that ruling of the Chair requires reference and not cause differences. I have, in detail, given reasons why, in these situations, notices are not being accepted," Dhankhar said while rejecting the notices under Rule 267 of the House.
On Monday also, the Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day during the morning session itself as opposition insisted on raising the issues related to Adani Group.
There was no sitting of the House on Tuesday.
The Adani Group said on Wednesday that Gautam Adani, and his nephew Sagar have not been charged with any violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the indictment that authorities filed in the New York court in an alleged bribery case.
