Ballari: Following the grant of interim medical bail to actor Darshan on Wednesday, October 30, fans from various places have flocked to the Ballari Central Jail, prompting police to tighten security around the premises. Thousands of fans are heading toward the jail, leading authorities to take precautionary measures.

Initially, Darshan reportedly had difficulty believing that bail had been granted. After being informed by officials, he expressed relief.

Shortly after the bail approval, Darshan’s wife, Vijayalakshmi, visited the jail. She had arrived in the city earlier in the day and was staying at a private hotel. Actor Dhanveer and other family members accompanied her during the visit.

Meanwhile, police faced challenges in controlling the crowd of enthusiastic fans around the jail. Authorities had to disperse the crowd with baton charges and have installed barricades to manage the gathering.
