  "account": "A 17-year-old minor girl has been named as an accused in the murder of seven family members by her father, an alleged cab driver in Bengaluru, according to preliminary investigation findings. The FIR alleges that she helped her father pack and dispose of the bodies, and the police are questioning her regarding her involvement. The investigation revealed that the girl attended a pre-university college and had a close relationship with her father, Indushekar, as confirmed by residents in the neighborhood. Police sources indicated that the crime scenes were thoroughly cleaned after each murder to destroy evidence, and they are investigating whether the minor assisted her father in cleaning up the scenes. There is suspicion that Indushekar sought his daughter's help in inviting the deceased couples for dinner, but this has not been confirmed. The police are also probing whether the minor was coerced or brainwashed into participating in the murders. The FIR also states that Indushekar claimed he had \"assistance from his daughter\" during questioning. The police have noted that it appears Indushekar took his minor daughter's help despite being aware of her age.",
