Bengaluru: Law Minister HK Patil has said that no special treatment had been accorded to Sandalwood actor Darshan Thoogudeepa who is arrested in connection with the murder case of Renukaswamy.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Patil stressed that the Shamiyana erected in front of the police station was not intended for secretive interrogations but for additional staff convenience.
When questioned about the presence of a curtain at the station where Darshan was held, Patil stated that he had no prior knowledge of such arrangements and reiterated that no special privileges would be granted to any accused under legal proceedings. He assured that there would be no deviation from following standard procedures and emphasized that creating exceptional facilities for an accused individual is not permissible under law.
Patil concluded by reiterating the government’s commitment to uphold fairness and equality in all legal matters without any exceptions or exemptions.
