Tears as Cab Driver K!lls Wife, Mother-in-Law, Brothers-in-Law, Their Wives And 7-Year-Old Grandson
A cab driver in Bengaluru, India, has allegedly confessed to killing his wife and six other members of her family following a prolonged dispute over a family property reportedly worth Rs 3 crore.
The 52-year-old suspect, identified as Indushekar, also known as Shekhar, reportedly told police that he felt at peace after carrying out the killings, claiming that his wife and her relatives subjected him to persistent humiliation and disrespect.
Police said the murders took place between October 16 and 31, 2026, with the victims identified as his wife, Sunitha; mother-in-law, Roopavathi; brothers-in-law, Shivakumar and Shankar; their wives, Nalini and Divya; and his seven-year-old grandson, Puneeth.
According to investigators, Indushekar allegedly began the killings by attacking his wife with a grinding stone on October 16 before disposing of her body near Nandi Hills.
He subsequently allegedly invited other relatives to his home under different pretences, including drinking parties and claims that certain family members were travelling, before killing them.
Further investigations reportedly revealed that his daughter was involved in the crime. She allegedly helped her father dispose of the bodies and clean the crime scene after he promised to transfer his wife’s share of the disputed property to her.
Police said the daughter also obtained chemicals and other cleaning materials used to remove bloodstains from the residence in an attempt to eliminate evidence linking them to the murders.
The alleged motive was a disagreement over the distribution of a property valued at approximately Rs 3 crore in the Srirampura area of Bengaluru.
Indushekar reportedly wanted a larger share of the property from his mother-in-law, Roopavathi, but she allegedly insisted on an equitable distribution that would also protect the interests of her two sons.
Investigators further suspect that the accused collected the victims’ thumb impressions on stamp papers after killing them, apparently intending to use the documents to gain control of the family property.
In an attempt to conceal the crimes, the suspect allegedly transported the bodies to different locations, believing that nobody would discover what had happened.
Police reportedly had difficulty accepting his confession initially but later recovered the bodies from the locations he disclosed during questioning.
The case remains under investigation.
My recommendation: Version 2 has a stronger opening and is more suitable for an online news publication.
