Challenging
Star
Darshan
has
found
himself
in
trouble
after
violating
the
COVID-19
protocol.
Apparently,
the
actor
was
campaigning
for
producer
Munirathna,
who
is
contesting
in
the
bypolls
from
RR
Nagar
constituency.
During
an
interaction
with
media,
District
Electoral
Officer
and
BBMP
commissioner
N
Manjunatha
Prasad
said
that
a
case
has
been
registered
against
the
actor
and
other
violators
under
the
Disaster
Management
Act,
2005
based
on
pictures
and
videos
captured
by
election
officials.
Deccan
Herald
quoted
him
as
saying,
"If
the
accused
are
found
guilty,
after
producing
the
evidence
to
the
court,
they
can
be
jailed
up
to
one
year
as
punishment."
In
the
pictures
that
have
surfaced
on
the
internet,
Darshan
can
be
seen
without
a
mask.
On
the
other
hand,
a
few
others
standing
near
him
can
be
seen
following
the
protocol,
by
wearing
a
mask
during
the
campaign.
Darshan
was
seen
requesting
people
to
vote
for
Munirathna,
who
has
produced
several
of
his
films
including
Kurukshetra
and
Raktha
Kanneeru.
The
actor's
inclusion
became
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
election
campaign
as
earlier
he
had
campaigned
for
actress
Sumalatha
Ambareesh,
who
won
by
a
record
margin
in
Mandya.
Well,
with
speculations
and
pictures
of
the
actor
violating
COVID-19
protocol
still
doing
the
rounds
on
the
internet,
the
actor
is
yet
to
respond.
Talking
about
his
upcoming
films,
Darshan
will
soon
start
shooting
Raja
Veera
Madakari
Nayaka
directed
by
SV
Rajendra
Singh.
He
is
also
awaiting
the
release
of
his
highly
awaited
film
Roberrt
helmed
by
Tharun
Sudhir.
The
action-thriller
was
initially
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
in
April
2020,
but
was
later
postponed
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
subsequent
lockdown.
