On June 8, 2024, Swamy was found dead near Bengaluru's Sumanahalli Bridge. It has been alleged that he worked at a Chitradurga branch of Apollo Pharmacy. Renuka allegedly used to send vulgar texts to Darshan's friend, Kannada actress Pavithra Gowad.

Angry about this, Renuka Swamy was killed and it is said that his dead body was thrown in front of Darshan in a canal at Kamaksshipalya, Bengaluru. Eight of the accused have allegedly implicated Darshan, stating that he was present when Renuka Swamy was assaulted.

Meanwhile, the Bengaluru court on Wednesday (June 19) also restricted media from publishing any defamatory news against Darshan. Live Law reported that the court restrained the media, their reporters, anchors or any other persons from “printing, publishing, or telecasting” any defamatory statements against Darshan, his wife Vijayalakshmi or their family.

“It shall be noted that the investigations has not been completed and therefore it is too premature to the defendants to express any opinion about the guilt or otherwise of the husband of the plaintiff. It is well-settled law that the doubts how so ever high it will not substitute the proof. Hence it is to premature to the defendants to express any opinion about the or otherwise of her husband in the alleged crime. It is improper to publish or telecast the information and news as if he has committed the guilt. Having regard to these aspects, an order of exparte temporary injunction is very much necessary,” the court said.

Actors from Kannada have spoken out in support of Darshan, saying they fully trust the legal system and are hopeful that the truth will be revealed soon. Actress Rachita Ram recently called on the media to be "unbiased and transparent" while discussing the investigation.

“I pray for the departed soul, Renuka Swamy. I hope his family gains the strength to bear the loss. I hope justice will be delivered in this murder case. Darshan introduced me to the cinema industry. He is like my mentor. I cannot believe that the person who used to correct my mistakes and guide me was involved in the case. I believe that the police will bring out the truth. Hope the media will remain unbiased and transparent in their reports,” her statement read.
