Why Darshan's Aides Choose Pattangere Shed To Attack Renuka Swamy?

Ever since the arrest of Darshan in Renuka Swamy's murder case, one question has been lingering in people's minds: why did the actor's aides choose the Pattangere shed for the assault instead of other locations?

Despite Darshan owning several properties, it has puzzled many why he took Renuka Swamy to a shed in the heart of the city rather than to an isolated location to avoid media attention.

According to a report in Suvarna News, the police have also been asking the accused the same question. The shed is owned by Darshan's uncle, Jayanna, and operated by his cousin, Vinay. Although it is centrally located, it appears isolated as few people frequent the area. The shed houses old vehicles seized by banks due to unpaid EMIs, and there is a primary drain, known as 'Rajakalive'. These factors might have led the accused to consider this place safe for their actions.

Renuka Swamy, a fan of Darshan, was reportedly upset with the actor's alleged affair with actress Pavithra Gowda, expecting him to remain loyal to his wife, Vijaya Lakshmi. Swamy sent obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda, which angered the actor.

Consequently, Darshan allegedly ordered his aides to bring Swamy to Bengaluru.

Swamy was kidnapped, locked inside a shed in Kamakshi Palya, and brutally assaulted by Darshan's aides, leading to his death. Later, his body was disposed of in a drainage in Sumanahalli, and three of the actor's aides surrendered to the police.

The accused claimed that they murdered Renuka Swamy over financial dispute, but the story was not convinced by their claims. Hence, they decided to investigate the case and then the Darshan and Pavithra Gowda's links were discovered.

A total of 17 people have been arrested by the Bengaluru cops.
