Actor Darshan Urged to Stop Fans from Sending Threats: Ramya
Actor Darshan, who faces a murder case, should urge his fans to refrain from trolling or send threat messages of rape and murder to those who speak out against him, Ramya aka Divya Spandana, his colleague in the Kannada film industry, told NDTV.
The female actor’s remarks came days after Bengaluru’s Cyber Crime Police registered a case against 43 social media accounts for allegedly sending her obscene messages as well as murder and rape threats, after she shared her views on the murder case.
Call to Action against Cyber Harassment
“Had he (Darshan) taken a stance earlier, maybe the Renukaswamy case would not have happened, because he was the actor’s fan. It just tells you the kind of mindset and how these fans are emboldened to send out messages like this. Had he taken a stance, I don’t think we would have been where we are today,” Ms Ramya said.
“It’s not too late for him to tell his fans that this is not okay. Because I see no difference between what Renukaswamy sent and what his fans are sending. If you think that is wrong, then why is this not wrong,” she added.
Darshan and his friend actress Pavithra Gowda are among the 17 accused in the murder case. According to police, 33-year-old Renukaswamy, a fan of Darshan, had sent obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda, which enraged Darshan, allegedly leading to his murder. His body was found near a stormwater drain next to an apartment in Sumanahalli here on June 9 last year.
