Notably, during the remand hearing today, the prosecution requested that the accused persons be shifted to Tumakur District Jail since there were apprehensions that jail inmates, who are Darshan’s fans, may attack his co-accused.
The request was opposed by the counsel for the co-accused. The trial court will hear the issue further on June 24 and decide.
