BENGALURU: A recent report has claimed that renowned Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who is in jail in the Renukaswamy murder case, has collapsed in jail. According to the report, the actor's health condition is satisfactory. Jail authorities said that Darshan is recovering.

Meanwhile, Darshan's wife Vijayalakshmi has appealed to Darshan's fans not to panic and remain calm till the actor comes out of jail. According to reports, Darshan collapsed as his health deteriorated in the last few days. Siddharuda, Darshan's former inmate, recently revealed that the actor was becoming thinner and that his body looked pale.

"One can see his tiredness in his eyes and face. Darshan is spending time in jail by reading books," Siddharuda said.

Darshan and his friend Pavitra Gowda were arrested two months ago in the case of murdering a youth named Renukaswamy. The deceased youth was a die-hard fan of Darshan.
