Actor Darshan received a visit from his family at Ballari Central Prison on Thursday. His mother Meena, sister Divya, and brother-in-law Manjunath arrived at the prison in the morning, around 11:30 am. Darshan left his cell to meet them in the visitors’ area. They spent about half an hour talking. Sources reported that Darshan was visibly moved when he saw his mother after a considerable time; and despite his typically stern expression, he was seen smiling as he made his way back to his cell after the visit. Darshan was seen as particularly emotional when he talked to his mother. Reportedly, he hugged his mother and burst into tears. It is reported that Darshan’s mother, who was moved to tears witnessing her son’s condition, comforted him during the visit. His elder sister was also emotional upon seeing his condition.
During the visit, Darshan’s family gave him fruits and baked goods. Following a request from the actor, prison authorities provided him with a television, though it has access to only a few channels. Darshan is said to have asked for more amenities, but officials have reportedly stated that only what is permitted under the prison regulations would be allowed. The actor has been in judicial custody for 100 days, facing charges in connection with the murder of Renukaswami.
Darshan was initially detained at Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara Central Prison before being transferred to Ballari Central Prison on August 29 amid a controversy. This arose after viral photos and videos surfaced, showing him drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette, and allegedly making a video call from inside the prison. As soon as the video went viral, the actor was shifted to Ballari jail.
