New Delhi: As many as seven officials at Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara jail were suspended after Kannada actor Darshan, accused in a murder case, was seen having tea and hanging out with three others on the prison premises, Karnataka Home Minister, G Parameshwara, confirmed, according to News18.

Notably, Darshan is currently in judicial custody in the Renukaswamy murder case.

Commenting on the suspension, the Home Minister said he spoke to the Directorate General (prisons) and an investigation was launched. Parameshwara also said senior officers, including the prison superintendent, will be transferred.

“At nearly 4.30 pm, I received information that Darshan, along with three others, were relaxing while having tea. I spoke to the DG (prisons) and sent officials to the spot. An inquiry into the same was conducted by 1 am,” he was quoted as saying.

“This shouldn’t have happened. Seven officials were suspended, and some senior officers, including the prison superintendent, will be transferred,” the Home Minister added.

In the viral photo, Darshan could be seen relaxing on a chair, holding a cigarette and a cup of tea, in an open space.

Media reports suggested others seen in the picture were rowdy sheeter Wilson Garden Naga and inmates Nagaraj (the actor’s manager and co-accused) and Kulla Seena.
