Bengaluru: Cab driver kills wife, six members of her family

  • Bengaluru police arrested cab driver Indu Shekhar on Thursday following a missing-person complaint at Srirampura Police Station, as he allegedly murdered his wife, Sunita, and six family members over domestic disputes.
  • Resentment over domestic interference allegedly drove Shekhar to plan the killings, as he claimed his mother-in-law, Roopavathi, and brothers-in-law, Shivakumar and Shankar, frequently sided with Sunita during marital disputes.
  • Between October 16 and November 3, the accused allegedly invited relatives to his Rajajinagar home, where he killed them using a grinding stone before transporting bodies to multiple locations on the city's outskirts.
  • Authorities recently recovered the body of seven-year-old Puneeth near the foothills of Nandi Hills, with three special teams led by the DCP continuing to search for the remaining six victims.
  • Police are investigating whether an accomplice assisted Shekhar, who reportedly used chemicals to destroy evidence, while authorities verify his confession and establish the exact sequence of the alleged killings.
