Telugu actor Naga Shaurya has come out in support of embattled Kannada star Darshan, who has been arrested for allegedly killing his fan.
The case has already become sensational in Karnataka, with Darshan currently in jail as police officials investigate.
Following the viral circulation of pictures of the deceased on social media, there has been widespread criticism of Darshan, with many calling for a maximum jail sentence for the actor. However, Naga Shaurya has expressed a different view on the matter.
In his social media post, Naga Shaurya wrote, "My heart goes out to the family of the deceased, and I genuinely wish them strength during this difficult time. However, it is incredibly disappointing to see people rushing to conclusions about this issue. Darshan Anna is not someone who could ever harm anyone, even in his worst nightmares. Those who know him well can attest to his generosity, kind-hearted nature, and unwavering commitment to helping others. He has always gone out of his way to support those in need and has been a pillar of strength for many."
He further stated, "I cannot, even in my darkest fears, accept this news. I have faith in our judicial system and believe that the truth will come out soon. We must also remember that another family is suffering greatly as well. They deserve privacy and respect during this challenging period. I firmly believe that Anna, known for his integrity and compassion, will be proven innocent and that the real culprit will be brought to justice."
