7 Prison Officials Suspended Over VIP Treatment For Actor Darshan In Jail | Read
Seven Bengaluru prison officials have been suspended following an investigation into a viral photograph and video showing Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa receiving what appears to be special treatment while in custody.
"The police went there and investigated. Based on a preliminary inquiry, they have found seven officers involved in this, and they have been suspended. Now we are investigating the matter further. It's a serious security lapse," said Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwar.
The controversy began when a photograph of Darshan, who is currently in judicial custody at the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru in connection with the Renukaswamy murder case, surfaced online.
