Bengaluru – Popular Kannada actor Darshan, who is in Bengaluru Central Prison for his alleged role in the murder of a fan, made a shocking statement in court on Tuesday. The actor said he is suffering greatly in jail and even asked for a “drop of poison,” showing his deep mental stress.
Darshan, once a leading star in the Kannada film industry, has been in the spotlight ever since he was linked to the tragic murder case. His arrest shocked his fans, who are struggling to balance their love for the actor with the seriousness of the charges.
Sources say Darshan is finding it very hard to adjust to prison life. He has been facing emotional pain, stress, and loneliness, which may have led to his desperate words in court. While his request may not have been literal, it shows the level of despair he is going through.
Experts believe this is a clear sign that Darshan needs mental health support. Human rights groups have also reminded authorities that prison conditions often worsen mental health problems and called for more humane treatment of inmates.
The court has not yet decided on Darshan’s plea. His family, fans, and the film industry are waiting anxiously for the next step in the case. This incident highlights the mental health struggles of prisoners, especially in high-profile cases, and the pressures that fame and scandal can bring.
