During the early hours of Thursday morning, actor Darshan was quietly transferred from Parappana Agrahara Jail to Ballari Central Jail. The plan was to keep the police convoy away from the media eye. However, the quietude broke into commotion as slogans in favour of the actor rented the air.

Surrounded by over two dozen police officers, Darshan drew attention due to his immense popularity. He was dressed in a black T-shirt, which caught the eye of onlookers, paired with stylish cooling glasses and holding a water bottle, and a jerkin, which is supposed to be a gift by his son, Vineesh. The T-shirt’s bold design and message—'Justice. Dignity. Equality. Peace'—became a focal point for fans and media alike.

Eager to catch a glimpse of their favourite star, fans gathered along the streets of Ballari as the police vehicle transporting Darshan arrived. They cheered, recorded videos, and chanted slogans like 'D Boss.'

“It’s really upsetting to see our star in this condition. We’re hopeful that justice will prevail in this ongoing investigation and that he will shine again in his films,” remarked a few fans, as they continued to rally behind Darshan.
