BENGALURU, 25 JUNE

The City police on Tuesday arrested a fan of actor Darshan for threatening film producer Umapathy Gowda and Kannada actor Pratham over their comments on the Renukaswamy murder case.

The court had directed the Basaveshwara Nagar police to register an FIR against the accused, Chethan, from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. The police are also searching for another accused Nagesh, who is a fan of Darshan. Gowda and Pratham had written social media posts against the actor and showed their support for Renukaswamy, 33, who was allegedly kidnapped, tortured and killed by Darshan and his partner Pavithra Gowda and 15 others.

Chethan has made a public apology on social media for his actions. Several fans have also released videos warning people of dire consequences if they speak against the actor. -Salar News
