Darshan appeared before the South Division police on Saturday and recorded his statement about his alleged harassment of his wife Vijayalakshmi and told the police that he would sort out the differences in consultation with elders in both families and in the film industry.

Darshan went to Thyagarajnagar police station where Banashankari sub-division ACP's office is also housed. Banashankari sub-division ACP Lokesh Kumar and CK?Achchukattu police inspector B K?Shekhar interrogated him. Darshan was at the police station for about one hour and denied allegations levelled against him by his wife Vijayalakshmi.

“I did not harass my wife Vijayalakshmi as I could not meet her on March 9,” the actor recorded in his statement.

“I had gone to Prestige South Ridge Apartment at Hoskerehalli around 7 pm on March 9 to see my son Vinish. I parked my vehicle at the parking lot and went to the flat number 4154 where my wife stays. The apartment security guard Devaraj prevented me from going upstairs. I told him that I had come to see my son and went upstaris.?There was no response from inside when I pressed the calling bell,” Darshan stated.

“I was about to leave when Devaraj came upstairs. He asked me why I went upstairs even when he had told me that Vijayalakshmi was not at the flat. I told him to move away as I wanted to leave.?I went down to the parking lot to leave. I could not meet my wife in person on that day. Hence, I did not harass my wife,” the actor stated.

“This is purely our domestic issue and we will sort out the issue in consultation with family elders and seniors in the film industry,” Darshan added in the statement. The police directed Darshan to appear before them if summoned in future over his wife's allegations.

Senior actor and Housing Minister Ambarish is yet to meet Vijayalakshmi and evolve a compromise between the two to end the discord. It is said that the two would be united by Sunday evening and the couple is likely to make a joint statement.

Vijayalakshmi, who has been staying separately for the last 19 months, in a petition to CK?Achchukattu police on March 9 had alleged that Darshan harassed her, used foul language and thrashed security guard Devaraj. She also requested the police to summon Darshan and issue warnings. Devaraj had also filed a separate complaint.

Udupi, Dec 15: What was meant to be a post-pilgrimage gathering turned tragic in Padukere village of Brahmavar taluk, Udupi district, late Sunday night, when a clash among youths escalated into a fatal assault, leaving one man dead.

The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Santosh Mogaveera, a resident of Padukere.

According to preliminary information, the incident took place during a late-night drinking party involving a group of local youths who had recently returned after completing their pilgrimage to the Sabarimala shrine. An argument reportedly broke out among the group and soon escalated into a violent confrontation.

During the ensuing brawl, Santosh Mogaveera was allegedly assaulted and collapsed at the spot after sustaining serious injuries. He was rushed by local residents to a private hospital in Brahmavar, where doctors declared him dead.

On receiving information, senior police officials, including Brahmavar Circle Inspector Gopikrishna, Kota Police Sub-Inspector Praveen Kumar T, Station ASI Manthesh Jabagoudar, and head constables Pradeep and Ashok, visited the spot and conducted an inspection.

Police have taken four youths into custody in connection with the incident. A case has been registered at the Kota police station, and further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events leading to the death.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
