In the ongoing probe into leaked prison videos that showed alleged preferential treatment of some inmates, Central Crime Branch (CCB) officials on Monday questioned Dhanveer Gowda, a close aide of arrested Kannada actor Darshan.
The questioning was conducted after the Parappana Agrahara police registered an FIR on a complaint lodged by the jail authorities to investigate the alleged irregularities and possible leakage of videos from inside the jail.
Police sought CCB’s technical assistance as part of the investigation, including the retrieval of mobile phone data. Gowda was interrogated to verify whether he was responsible for the jailhouse video leak.
However, sources said that so far investigators have not found any substantial evidence linking him to the leak.
