Meanwhile, film actress Ramya, who faced brutal trolling from Darshan's fans after she posted that the family of the deceased man Renukaswamy in the fan murder case should receive justice, reacted to the media by saying that Darshan should have kept better company."I have acted in films with Darshan. He had shared his story with me, and I had felt proud of his progress," she said.

"Darshan had grown from being a stage light boy to becoming a star. However, his recent conduct has disappointed me. He has spoiled his life.
"When one reaches a certain stage in life, there comes responsibility. I don't know if he had good company around him. He could have very well moved forward in life with grace," Ramya added.

Talking about the judgment, Ramya said it has brought relief. "Society is moving in the wrong direction. My post on the protection of women and honour-based issues was trolled. This judgment will help society get back on the right track and sends a strong message that everyone is equal before the law," she stressed. Ramya also noted that Renukaswamy's family, who hail from a humble background, have finally received justice through the Supreme Court's verdict.
