HC Judge warns Darshan against ill-treating wife

Darshan and his wife Vijayalakshmi appeared before Justice BV Pinto for counselling on Wednesday. In half an hour meeting, the judge advised the Kannada actor to look after his wife well and change his behaviour, as the public considers him as a role model.

Amidst tight security, the couple arrived to the judge's chamber around 2.30 pm yesterday. "Justice Pinto advised Darshan to be careful about his conduct since being an actor and a celebrity, he is always in the public eye and any wrong behaviour on his part could send a wrong message to the public," Special Public Prosecutor HS Chandramouli told PTI.

The judge conditioned that his family members should not poke their noses in the relationship between Darshan and Vijayalakshmi. The actor was also strictly told that the Challenging star should not hamper the witnesses and in case, if he violates their condition, the court can cancel his bail and send him to prison again.

However, Darshan and Vijayalakshmi thanked the judge and the Kannada star promised him that he will take care of his wife. It may be recalled that on September 9, Darshan was arrested on charges of threatening to kill his wife and assaulting her. After rejecting his bail plea for a few times, the court granted him conditional bail on October 7.
