Sahana was five months pregnant when Renukaswamy was murdered. She is presently admitted to a private hospital in Karnataka’s Chitradurga city.
Chitradurga: The wife of Renukaswamy, the fan who was allegedly kidnapped and brutally tortured to death by Kannada superstar Darshan and his gang, gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday.
Sahana was five months pregnant when the murder took place. She is undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Karnataka’s Chitradurga city.
Kashinath, the father of the murdered Renukaswamy, said that the hospital staff had offered him good support, and his daughter-in-law and the baby were fine.
Doctors treating my daughter-in-law have given me free delivery service, and I thank them, said Kashinathaiah.
With tears of joy flowing, he said, “My son has come back in the form of a baby. She gave birth to the baby at 6.55 p.m.,” he told the media.
When asked about the case, he said, “I don’t want to talk about it. What matters to me is that the mother and son are doing well.
I want to thank Dr. Mallikarjun, who called my daughter-in-law twice a week for a medical check-up, and today, they ensured normal delivery.”
The family has asked for a fast-track trial of the case. They also welcomed the court’s judgment to quash the bail petitions of jailed Kannada superstar Darshan and his associate Pavithra Gowda in the case.
Darshan, Pavithra Gowda, and 15 others were arrested on June 11 on charges of kidnapping and brutally murdering Renukaswamy from Chitradurga.
Renukaswamy had allegedly sent derogatory and obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda.
Darshan’s counsel termed the investigation a classic failure and compared the charges in the charge sheet to the story of ‘Arabian Nights.’
Darshan’s counsel also pointed out that there was a deliberate delay in conducting a post-mortem of Renukaswamy’s body and recording the statements of eyewitnesses.
Special Public Prosecutor Prasanna Kumar, who had prosecuted several high-profile cases, vehemently argued that DarsDarshan’s bail petition be accepted.
He had refuted the arguments advanced against the police investigation and submitted before the court that Darshan, in his statement, had confessed to kicking Renukaswamy’s chest.
