According to the post-mortem report of the victim Renukaswamy (33), death occurred due to shock and haemorrhage due to torture by the accused persons.
However, sources said that the accused tried to manipulate the post-mortem report so that the murder charge against Darshan was dropped. The officials who conducted the post-mortem reportedly told the police that they were offered Rs 1 crore to show that the death was caused by a heart attack.
Darshan, his co-star and partner Pavitra Gowda and 14 others have been arrested for the murder of Chitradurga resident Renukaswamy.
Investigation revealed that Renukaswamy was a big fan of Darshan and had sent derogatory messages to Pavitra Gowda on social media. The victim was allegedly kidnapped, brought to Bengaluru, kept in a shed and brutally tortured.
The postmortem report has now certified that Renukaswamy was brutally tortured before his death. It said the victim had 15 injury marks on his body, including four fractures.
The report also said that the victim's head was hit by a mini truck in the shed.
There are injury marks on the head, stomach, chest and other parts of the body.
Sources said one of the arrested accused, who has agreed to turn approver for the police, claimed that Darshan kicked Renukaswamy's private parts with full force and smashed his head with the mini truck.
Sources also said that one of the accused even recorded the brutal act.
