'Actor Darshan has not changed even after repentance': Ex-jail officer Satish

Actor Darshan Thoogudeepa finds himself back in Parappana Agrahara Jail in the Renukaswamy murder case, revisiting a place that holds a past he cannot escape. This isn't Darshan's first stint in this prison; 13 years ago, he spent 28 days behind bars for brutally assaulting his wife, Vijayalakshmi Darshan, allegedly due to his affair with actress Nikita. 

Retired jail officer Satish, who oversaw Darshan's previous incarceration, recently spoke out about the actor's unchanged demeanour. Satish noted, "There has been no change in Darshan's personality. He showed no regrets then, and it seems he still hasn't."

In 2011, Darshan was jailed for severely attacking Vijayalakshmi. During that time, he promised Satish, "I will never do this again, I will never make such a mistake." Yet, according to Satish, Darshan's behaviour remains consistent with his past actions. "We are seeing the same old Darshan."

Satish commented on Darshan's request for home-cooked meals, saying, "It’s better not to provide that facility. If Darshan gets home food, every prisoner will demand the same."

Addressing concerns about Darshan receiving special treatment, Satish clarified, "No one gets VIP treatment in jail. If you have committed a crime, you must face the consequences."
