The autopsy report of Renukaswamy, who was allegedly beaten to death by actor Darshan and his associates, revealed that he suffered 39 injuries, including a broken chest bone and damage to his testicles, leading to his death.
The prosecution had submitted the autopsy report and the case diary with photographs to the 56th additional city civil and sessions court, which was hearing the bail petitions of four suspects, including Darshan’s girlfriend Pavithra Gowda, over the last fortnight.
The court rejected all four petitions.
According to the autopsy report, Renukaswamy also had a deep, bleeding head injury, a torn ear and suffered electric shocks.
“It can be seen from the photos that the deceased sustained injuries on almost all parts of the body. Some of the injuries appear to be severe. These facts show that the deceased had been tortured in an unimaginable manner... The blood/DNA of the deceased is alleged to have been found on the clothes and the slipper of the petitioner as per the FSL report,” read the court’s bail order.
“If we peruse the allegations made against Pavithra Gowda, it can be seen that she is the root cause of the whole incident. There are allegations that she participated in the abduction and murder conspiracy. There are strong prima facie materials regarding her complicity in the alleged crime. The crime is so heinous and gruesome, and that itself is sufficient ground to reject the bail application,” the judge opined.
Renukaswamy Had 39 Injuries, Including Broken Chest Bone, Reveals Autopsy Report
Earlier, a photograph showing a shirtless Renukaswamy, tearfully pleading for mercy, was widely circulated on social media.
This photo is believed to have been taken shortly before he was brutally killed by Darshan and his associates.
The pictures, which are referenced in the charge sheet, were retrieved from the mobile phone of one of the accused.
Talking about this picture, Renukaswamy’s father said “After seeing the photograph which has gone viral, we are confused. We don’t know what to say and how to react. We can now imagine how much he would have suffered and screamed and pleaded to them. He was tortured beyond tolerance.” reports the media.
“Considering the gravity of the offence, I am of the opinion that if the petitioner is released on bail, it would give the wrong message to society,” the judge stated while rejecting Pavithra’s bail application. The court also rejected the bail pleas of Stonny Brook restaurant owner V Vinay, Girinagar resident Keshavamurthy and Chitradurga cab driver Anukumar.
