Kannada
actor
Darshan
Thoogudeepa
was
arrested
by
the
Vijayanagar
police
early
this
morning
on
charges
of
assaulting
his
wife.
According
to
police
sources,
the
Challenging
star
stabbed
his
wife
Vijayalakshmi
and
threatened
to
kill
her
last
night.
The
seriously
wounded
star's
wife,
who
was
in
her
friend's
home,
was
rushed
to
the
hospital.
Darshan,
the
son
of
yesteryear
actor
Thoogudeepa
Srinivas,
threatened
his
wife
with
a
revolver
before
attacking
her
and
their
3-year-old
son
Vineesh
about
12
AM.
She
is
admitted
at
Gayathri
Nursing
Home
in
Vijayanagar.
It
is
said
that
the
victim
is
battling
for
life.
Reports
say
that
Darshan
and
his
wife
were
living
separately
due
to
family
dispute
for
a
few
months
now.
The
exact
reason
for
the
trouble
in
their
paradise
is
yet
to
be
revealed.
The
estranged
couple
tied
the
knot
in
2000.
The
actor,
who
had
maintained
a
clean
image
in
public
for
all
these
years,
has
spoiled
his
name
by
attacking
his
wife.
