BENGALURU, 7 AUG

In a significant development in Renukaswamy murder case, Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) has confirmed that blood stains found on actor Darshan’s clothing match with those of the victim. The forensic analysis was conducted on a pair of blue jeans and a black round-neck shirt that were seized from Darshan’s residence by police.

A separate incident in Raichur has ignited public outrage. At Lakshmi Ranganath Temple in Masarakal village, Raichur, the priests performed a ritual after placing the photo of Darshan alongside a deity’s idol. The inclusion of Darshan’s image in a religious context, especially while he is under arrest and facing serious charges, has been deemed inappropriate by many arguing that it disrespects religious sentiments and deviates from traditional Kannada cultural norms.

Ashok Kumar Jain, a pro-Kannada activist, has called for an apology from the temple priests, asserting that such actions tarnish the sanctity of the temple and misrepresent cultural values. –Salar News
