In a lengthy post on her Instagram stories, Divya wrote, “No one is above the law. No one should take law in to their hands. You don’t go around beating up people and killing them. A simple complaint would suffice whether you believe justice will be served or not.”

In the same post, she appreciated the efforts of the Karnataka police, writing, “A word of appreciation and respect for the police officers discharging their duties. It's a thankless job. And they're doing their best. I truly hope they don't succumb to pressure from political parties and reinstate the faith of the people in law and justice.”

She ended the post with “#JusticeforRenukaswamy #Darshan #Yedyurappa #Prajwal Revanna.”

‘If trolling persists, file a complaint’

She wrote, “The trolls have trolled me incessantly using filthy language. Not just me, they’ve trolled other actors too.” She added, “I have filed cases like any law abiding citizen should. Sometimes post a warning from the police to the trolls I’ve taken back the case too on compassionate grounds.”

Darshan’s arrest

Darshan and his partner Pavithra Gowda were taken into custody on June 11 in an alleged murder case. The two are the main accused in the killing of Renukaswamy, a fan of Darshan who had allegedly trolled Pavithra for coming between the actor and his wife, Vijayalakshmi.
