Chitradurga, 5 Sept

Expressing anguish over the latest picture of Renukaswamy which has emerged on social media, the victim's parents called the jailed Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and his accomplices 'demons' for allegedly torturing their son to death.

Renukaswamy’s father Kashinath S Shivanagoudru claimed that the developments have had adverse effect on their pregnant daughter-in-law these days.

“After seeing the photograph which has gone viral, we are confused. We don’t know what to say and how to react. We can now imagine how much he would have suffered and screamed and pleaded to them. He was tortured beyond tolerance,” Shivanagoudru said.

He said he is unable to console his daughter-in-law.

Shivanagoudru said, “My son requested Darshan and his gang members that he has a mother and a pregnant wife but they did not pardon him. They were all demons. They did not have even a trace of humanity in them.”

The victim’s father lamented that Darshan and his gang members could have complained to the police. PTI
