Bengaluru: In the wake of Darshan Thoogudeepa’s arrest for Renuka Swamy’s murder, media attention has shifted to another controversy from Darshan’s past: the mysterious disappearance of his former manager, Mallikarjun.
Mallikarjun B. Sankanagoudar, hailing from Gadag, served as Darshan’s manager from 2011 to 2018. During this time, he handled Darshan’s business, financial affairs, schedules and payments. However, a rift emerged when Mallikarjun allegedly conducted secret deals in Darshan’s name, borrowing large sums of money, including Rs. 1 crore from actor Arjun Sarja.
