She used to be picked up and taken to the ap nagar police station by the female PSI who used to go there every morning. Pavithra might have been stopped from doing that by the female PSI who saw it happening. She has been given a notice to explain for her carelessness," DCP (West), Girish said.
Leading kannada cinema star Darshan Thoogudeepa is accused number two in the case, having allegedly carried out the murder, while Gowda has been listed as the first accused, purportedly for being the motivator.
In connection with the case, Darshan, Pavithra, and fifteen other people were detained and are still in judicial custody.
Reportedly, Renukaswamy was taken to a shed in Bengaluru's R R nagar by one of the accused, Raghavendra, who belongs to Darshan's fan club in Chitradurga, under the guise that Darshan wished to see him. It is said that he was slain and tortured in this shed.
