complaint of leg and back pain
Dr. Naveen Appaji Gowda, who is treating the actor, said on Friday that the actor is complaining of pain in his back and left leg. His left leg is weak. We are thinking about what can be done next. We have not started any investigation yet, only after investigation we will know what actually happened to him.
Dr. Gowda told that Darshan will undergo MRI, X-ray and blood test. The doctor said that we have not received his earlier MRI films and test reports, so we will have to do the MRI again. After the MRI report comes, if operation is required, it will be done, otherwise physiotherapy will be done.
permission was sought for surgery
The actor’s lawyer had claimed that the actor was suffering from numbness in both his legs and had sought permission for surgery at a private hospital in Mysuru. The state government had submitted sealed medical reports obtained from doctors at Bellary Central Prison and the report of the head of the neurology department at a government hospital in the city.
went to village after release
After being released from jail on October 30, Darshan had gone to his wife Vijayalakshmi’s house in Hosakere village of Tumukuru. With the news of his arrival there, his fans gathered in large numbers, creating a stampede-like situation. The security personnel had to struggle to handle it. Citing the conditions of the High Court, his son Vinish appealed to the fans to leave from there.
