The individuals considered for relocation along with Darshan include rowdies Wilson Garden Naga, Srinivasa, alias Kulla Seena, Dharma, and Darshan's close associate, Nagaraj. Legal experts are currently involved in ensuring that the court grants permission for the transfer.

On Tuesday, senior officials briefed the CM about the progress. The court needs to be informed of the specific reasons for the prisoners' arrests. Previously, the court had overturned an order that had relocated Wilson Garden Naga to another jail. To avoid similar issues with Darshan’s case, precautions are being taken. The Home Minister and other high-ranking officials discussed the matter on Monday, and a legal expert’s opinion is awaited for the court's order.

Bengaluru City Police Commissioner B. Dayanand has ordered an internal inquiry into the leak of information regarding the CCB raid on Parappana Agrahara Central Jail. The raid, conducted early Saturday, was based on suspicions of illegal activities. However, no evidence of illegal items such as mobile phones or drugs was found. The following day, images and videos of Darshan’s belongings— including a mobile phone, cigarettes, chair, and coffee mugs— were publicly circulated, causing embarrassment to the CCB.

Rumours suggest that some officials and prisoners were aware of the raid in advance, which led to the removal of any incriminating evidence. In response, Commissioner Dayanand has directed the Additional Commissioner (Crime) to investigate the information leak and submit a report.
