Actor Darshan was arrested on September 9 and remanded to judicial custody for two weeks. Meanwhile,
the Karnataka Film Producers' Association, playing moral police, had
imposed a 3-year ban on actor Nikita Thukral. She was named by
Vijaylakshmi in her first statement to the police and the association
alleged that an affair with her was the reason for the dispute between
Darshan and his wife. Nikita has been Darshan's co-star in a few films. The
Producers' Association, when asked, said it did not need to penalise
Darshan because a legal case was handling complaints of domestic
violence against him.
Nikita claimed to have no involvement in
the entire episode and said she was being unnecessarily dragged into the
controversy and punished with the ban. Darshan's bail plea was rejected on September 14 by the First Additional
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Venkatesh Hulagi, stating that he did not
have jurisdiction to handle the case filed under IPC Section 307
(attempt to murder). Earlier, Darshan's attempts to secure bail suffered a setback despite
his wife retracting her statement in the court on Monday, September 12.
She said her head injuries resulted from a fall in the bathroom,
contrary to her allegations in a police complaint on September 8 that
Darshan had assaulted and threatened her at gun point.
