A Bengaluru cab driver, Indushekhar, has been arrested for allegedly murdering his wife and six of her relatives over a domestic dispute. The victims include his wife Sunita, mother-in-law Roopavathi, brothers-in-law Shivakumar and Shankar, their wives Divya and Nalini, and a seven-year-old boy, Puneeth. Police have recovered the body of Puneeth near Nandi Hills, while the search for the remaining six bodies continues. Indushekhar reportedly confessed to the killings, which are believed to have been carried out over a period of 15 to 20 days. The case came to light after a missing-person complaint led to his arrest and subsequent confession. Investigations are ongoing to verify the timeline of events and the exact circumstances of the murders.
Police suspect Indushekhar used a grinding stone in the killings and transported the bodies to different locations. He allegedly attempted to destroy evidence by cleaning bloodstains and washing the suspected murder weapon. Authorities are examining whether anyone assisted him, including his minor daughter, who is currently being questioned.
