Chitradurga: Renuka Swamy’s father, Kashinathaiah Shivanagowder, on Wednesday expressed his displeasure over the statements made by some actresses regarding the alleged lewd messages sent by Renuka Swamy.
Talking to reporters, he said, “If my son was sending obscene messages, they should have filed a complaint with the police. If a complaint had been filed, legal action would have been taken. Then why are you all silent? Is torture and murder the answer for sending obscene messages? Why did they take the law into their hands and ruin the life of a woman by murdering him?
“Our family is completely ruined after the murder of our son. We are old too. Who takes care of parents and grandparents? Some actresses are defending those who were tortured and killed. No one should justify the murder by taking the law, court, and office into their own hands,” he said.
“I used to say that if my son had done something wrong, he should be punished. Let some actresses stand in my place and think. A complaint could have been filed against him if he had sent the wrong message. If a complaint had been made, he would have been punished. His life would have been spared. Now they have taken their lives and ruined our family,” he said.
