A 45-year-old cab driver from Karnataka, identified as Indushekhar, has been taken into custody following the gruesome discovery that he allegedly murdered his wife and six of her relatives, including a seven-year-old boy. The investigation, which spanned several areas near Bengaluru, began after a relative reported the family missing. Authorities revealed that the killings occurred over a period of nearly three weeks, fueled by long-standing domestic tensions regarding the wife’s frequent visits to her parents' home.

Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh stated that the suspect allegedly lured the victims to his home one by one before carrying out the murders and disposing of their bodies in various locations across the Chikkaballapur district. To avoid detection, Indushekhar reportedly used chemicals to scrub bloodstains from his home and misled neighbors by claiming his wife had gone on a trip. While one body has been recovered from a hilly area, law enforcement continues to work with the suspect to locate the remaining victims as they build a solid case against him for this harrowing series of crimes.
