Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, accused of murder, is at the center of controversy after photos and videos of him receiving VIP treatment at Bengaluru's Parappana Agrahara Central Prison went viral. The visuals show Darshan smoking, drinking coffee, and making a video call, sparking public outrage and accusations of corruption within the prison system. In response, Karnataka's Congress-led government has suspended several prison officials, including Chief Jail Superintendent V Seshumurthy and Jail Superintendent Mallikarjun Swamy. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G Parameshwara have ordered a thorough investigation, with plans to transfer Darshan and other inmates involved. The incident raises concerns about the state's law and order and the preferential treatment of high-profile inmates.
