During a recent media interaction, the actor revealed, “We are only aware of what the media is showing us because we are not going to the police station to get the information. It looks like the media and the police are working hard to uncover the truth. There’s no doubt about that.”
While reiterating that the victim and his family deserved justice, the actor said that everyone should have faith in justice, and truth should prevail in this case.
Although the actor refrained from mentioning Darshan’s name, Sudeep demanded a clean chit for the whole of KFI (Kannada Film Industry), which has been bearing the brunt ever since the case broke out.
While stating that the industry should not be dragged into the case, the actor said, “All the blame seems to be placed on the film industry. The industry needs a clean chit.
