The arrest of popular Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa in connection with a murder case has sent shockwaves across the film fraternity in Karnataka. Darshan, along with 12 others, was taken into custody after the body of Renuka Swamy, 33, was found in a drain in Bengaluru. Mr Swamy had allegedly sent inappropriate messages to Darshan's co-star and girlfriend Pavithra Gowda. Reacting to the arrest, Darshan's colleague and co-actor, Sanjjanaa Galrani, said it was like "doomsday" for the industry. "This has been a black day for us yesterday, and it's been like a doomsday for the Kannada industry," she told NDTV, calling him a "demigod figure in the Kannada industry."
