Bengaluru, June 11

Leading Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa was arrested on Tuesday in connection with the murder of a man who allegedly made “derogatory” comments against his close friend.

The “Challenging Star” and 12 others were questioned by the police after being taken into custody earlier today and subsequently arrested in connection with the alleged murder of a man, identified as Renukaswamy, whose body was found here on June 9.

It is alleged that Renukaswamy, who worked with a pharma company and hailed from the district headquarters town of Chitradurga, had made derogatory comments against actress Pavithra Gowda, a close friend of Darshan, in social media posts, the sources said. The actress has also been arrested.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
