The judge instructed him to stand according to his accused number and to stand next to Pavithra Gowda. Upon the judge’s instruction, Darshan stood next to Pavithra Gowda.

When both were leaving the court in a lift, they faced each other. Pavithra Gowda insisted on getting Darshan’s phone number, and he eventually gave it to her.

The other accused in the Renukaswamy murder case appeared in the 57th CCB court today. While A3 Pawan was absent for today’s hearing, A11 Nagaraju was allowed to go to Hosapete.

The court adjourned the hearing to July 10 after the accused requested more time to appear for trial. The court allowed Pavithra Gowda to travel outside the state for 15 days. Notably, Darshan and Pavithra Gowda had distanced themselves from each other after being released on bail in the case.

Darshan did not appear in court last time, citing ill health. The court had taken Darshan to task for not appearing. All the accused in the Renukaswamy murder case have been granted bail.
