It is known that, recently, Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa was arrested in connection with the brutal killing of one of his fans. His rumoured girlfriend, Pavithra Gowda, and several others have also been arrested.

The Kannada media has been relentlessly reporting about the whole saga. A lot of skeletons are tumbling out of the cupboard in the wake of the case. Meanwhile, today, the manager of Darshan's farmhouse was found dead. He allegedly died by suicide due to "severe depression", his suicide note says.

The significance of the Darshan saga coming to light has been described as a total surprise by many. "People outside Karnataka still don’t realize how big the arrest and exposing of Darshan is. It’s akin to the Kotwal & Jairaj mafia era coming to an end in the 1980s. This is 'samudra manthana' of not just the Kannada film industry but also cops showing spine that wasn’t visible in a long time," wrote Chetan Anantharamu on social media.
