The court issued witness summons to the victim’s parents to appear on Dec 17 for trial proceedings.The prosecution team, led by special public prosecutor Prasanna Kumar P, gave a list of witnesses and evidence to the court to begin trial. The prosecution asked the court to summon Renukaswamy’s father and mother, who are witness nos. 7 and 8, respectively. However, Darshan’s advocate objected and asked the court to consider their request to call witnesses according to the order number.
