Bengaluru family murders: Did accused take victims’ thumbprints to claim property?

According to the police, the accused, Indushekhar, allegedly killed seven members of his family in Rajajinagar, Bengaluru, after allegedly being insulted by them. However, investigators are now probing a property angle to the case, suggesting that the accused may have taken the thumbprints of the deceased to establish his claim over a property.

The alleged property in question is a 30x40 site in Srirampura owned by his mother-in-law, Roopavathi. Indushekhar's minor daughter is suspected to have actively assisted him in the crime, hoping to inherit the property after his alleged transfer of the house in her name. Forensic teams have collected samples from Indushekhar's house and the crime scene, including bloodstains from various locations, and sent them for further examination.

Blood traces were detected using a luminol test, which reveals blood even after it has been cleaned.
