just googled :)
Popular Kannada actor Darshan was arrested on Friday for allegedly assaulting and threatening his wife with a revolver and has been booked for various offences including attempt to murder, police said.
The actor was taken into custody after a complaint filed by his wife, Vijayalaxmi who is undergoing treatment for injuries in the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital.
Cases under different IPC sections including 307 (attempt to murder) and Arms act have been registered against the actor, police said.
In her complaint, Vijayalaxmi alleged that the actor has been torturing her and their three-year-old child.
Police said Vijayalaxmi along with her child had gone to her friend's house last evening after a fight with Darshan.
The actor later went there and was returning home with his wife and child in his car when he allegedly assaulted her in an inebriated condition, police said.
Darshan, son of erstwhile Kannada film villain, Toogdeepa Srinivas, has a huge fan following. He has acted in numerous blockbusters and has three big budget movies featuring him scheduled for release.
The actor married Vijayalaxmi seven years ago after a love affair.
Kannada Film Producers' Association imposed a three-year ban on actress Nikita Thukral for her alleged role in creating problems between Darshan and his wife Vijayalakshmi.
Speaking to reporters, Soorappa Babu, secretary of the Association, said that the decision was taken in the interest of Kannada film industry and Vijayalakshmi on humanitarian grounds.
"Everyone is aware of her alleged role in creating problems for Vijayalakshmi. We do not want heroines who create problems between heroes and their wives," said Soorappa Babu.
... and the wife promptly withdrew her assault complaint after the girlfriend was banned *head desk*
