CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Bengaluru police is considering challenging bail granted on medical grounds to Kannada actor  Darshan Thoogudeepa in the Renukaswamy murder case. The Kannada superstar was granted bail by the Karnataka High Court recently to undergo spine surgery.

Bengaluru Police Commissioner B. Dayananda said they will challenge bail granted to Darshan soon at the apex court. “The process is on and at the earliest we will file an appeal in the Supreme Court,” the police commissioner told reporters on Tuesday.

The 47-year-old actor was released on bail from Ballari prison on October 30 after the Karnataka High Court granted him bail for six weeks to undergo the surgery.  The actor approached the High Court after the trial court denied him bail.

Darshan, who was initially lodged in Bengaluru prison was later shifted to Ballari after visuals emerged of the actor receiving special treatment in prison. A video also emerged showing the actor interacting with a fan over a video call. The Karnataka government transferred Darshan to Ballari and suspended prison officials over the issue.
