Bengaluru cab driver claims he killed wife, in-laws ‘over 15 to 20 days’: Police

A Bengaluru cab driver, identified as Indushekhar, has confessed to allegedly murdering his wife, mother-in-law, two brothers-in-law, their wives, and a seven-year-old child, police reported. The alleged killings took place over two days using a grinding stone. Police have recovered the body of the seven-year-old boy found near Nandi Hills, while a search is underway to locate the remaining six victims.

Indushekhar and his wife, Sunita, had been married for approximately 20 years, but frequent arguments arose over her visits to her parents' home and her close relationship with her family. He allegedly resented Sunita's frequent trips to her parents' house and her connection with her relatives. The motive behind the killings was reportedly the culmination of ongoing marital disputes.

Police believe Indushekhar used the same grinding stone to kill all seven victims and attempted to cover up the crime by cleaning the house and removing bloodstains.
