Key Questions Answered

The 59th CCH court in Bengaluru adjourned the hearing because Pradosh Rao's statement was lengthy and still incomplete after three days of in-camera proceedings. The remaining testimony, expected to cover key events like the surrender process and developments in Mysuru, will continue on Monday.

Pradosh Rao, originally the 14th accused in the Renukaswamy murder case, has turned approver to testify against actor Darshan, Pavithra Gowda, and other co-accused. He previously served as a crucial link who allegedly aided in evidence destruction, arranged financial dealings, and coordinated the surrender process for the accused.

The court mandated that Pradosh must provide complete and truthful information regarding all aspects of the crime until the trial concludes, and he must remain in judicial custody. If he conceals important truths or provides false information, his pardon will be revoked, and he will face prosecution as an accused person.
