A shocking case involving the alleged murder of seven members of a family has come to light in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Police have arrested a cab driver, identified as Indushekhar, in connection with the deaths of his wife and six of her relatives.
The victims have been identified as his wife Sunitha, mother-in-law Rupavathi, brothers-in-law Shivakumar and Shankar, sisters-in-law Divya and Nalini, and seven-year-old Puneeth.
According to preliminary police findings, the accused allegedly killed the family members and later disposed of their bodies at different locations near the Nandi Hills foothills in Chikkaballapur district. Police suspect that a grinding stone was used in the attacks. The allegations are still being investigated.
The case came to light after a missing-person complaint was filed at Srirampura Police Station. During the investigation, police questioned Indushekhar after finding inconsistencies in his statements. His alleged disclosures led investigators to search several locations near Nandi Hills.
Police have recovered the body of seven-year-old Puneeth after a search operation. The remaining six bodies have not yet been found, and search operations are continuing.
Investigators suspect that frequent family disputes may have played a role in the incident. However, the exact motive has not been conclusively established.
Police are examining the evidence and continuing the investigation. The accused is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
