‘He said we were going on a trip’: 11-year-old survivor recounts days with accused after family’s murder in Bengaluru

An 11-year-old survivor recounted his harrowing experiences with the accused, Indushekar, following a family murder in Bengaluru. According to the survivor, Indushekar frequently diverted conversations when asked about his parents and claimed they were going on a trip, disposing of garbage in large plastic bags. The police believe these bags may contain the bodies of the boy's parents.

After a dinner party at Indushekar's house on October 31, the accused forcibly kept the family there despite their plans to leave. The boy's family had informed their landlords to keep the gate open as they would return late, but they never returned. The accused is suspected of driving the car with the boy and the bodies in the boot.

Police suspect the boy could have been the next victim, but Indushekar was stopped before he could carry out this crime. The accused allegedly planned to murder the boy before taking him to Kempegowda International Airport, Kukke Subrahmanya, Dharmasthala, and Sringeri. The police are investigating these claims.
