In addition to this, actor and close friend of Darshan Pavitra Gowda has also been included in the scene. They are the primary accused parties in this case.
Nikhil, Vinay, Karthik, Raghavendra, and Darshan's other coworkers were also brought to the scene for questioning. They are said to have disposed of the body. In relation to the actor's fan Renukaswamy's murder, the police on Tuesday detained 13 persons, including Darshan and Gowda.
Meanwhile, police sources said four more suspects, including a woman, are absconding in the case.

According to police sources, she had allegedly used abusive language and posted objectionable messages.
