15 Injuries In Body, Brutally Beaten On Face, Private Part: Renuka Swamy's Post Mortem Reveals

Renuka Swamy, who was allegedly killed by the aides of Kannada actor Darshan for sending obscene messages to his friend Pavithra Gowda, was brutally assaulted before his death.

The postmortem has been conducted, but the official report is yet to be released. However, sources within the police department have informed Public TV that Renukana Swamy sustained 15 injuries on his body. He was severely beaten on his face, body, and private parts, likely with hard objects such as iron rods.

After being kidnapped from his house in Chitradurga, Renukana Swamy was reportedly taken to Darshan's RR Nagar house and then to a shed in Kamakshi Palya owned by Darshan's friend Vinay. There, he was assaulted and killed. His body was then transported in an autorickshaw and later in Darshan's Scorpio car before being dumped in a drainage in Sumanahalli.

The body was first discovered by a delivery boy on Sunday, who alerted the police. As the investigation progressed, the police established links between the deceased and Darshan.

So far, 13 people have been arrested in connection with the case, including Darshan, Pavithra Gowda, Pawan, Pradosh, Nandish, Keshava Murthy, Lakshman (Darshan's car driver), Raghavendra (a member of Darshan's fans association in Chitradurga), Deepak, Vinay, and Karthik.

All the accused are expected to undergo medical tests before being produced before the court shortly.
