Bengaluru, November 14, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The prime accused in the Bengaluru mass murder case, Indushekar, has reportedly told police that he is now at peace after allegedly killing seven members of his wife’s family, citing repeated humiliation and a property dispute as motives, police said on Saturday.
During questioning, the 52-year-old cab driver allegedly claimed that his wife’s family always supported her and treated him disrespectfully. He also accused his wife of frequently scolding and humiliating him.
“I am at peace and satisfied now,” he reportedly told investigators while explaining his alleged motive.
The investigation has also revealed the alleged involvement of his daughter, who is accused of helping him dispose of the bodies and remove evidence from the house. Police suspect she agreed to assist after her father allegedly promised to transfer her mother’s share of the property in her name. She reportedly procured chemicals and other materials to clean bloodstains from the house at regular intervals.
The case is linked to a property dispute involving an estimated Rs 3 crore property in Bengaluru’s Srirampura locality. Indushekar had allegedly demanded a larger share from his mother-in-law, Roopavathi, who reportedly maintained that he could receive only his rightful share, as she also had two sons whose interests had to be protected.
Police suspect that the accused collected the deceased family members’ thumb impressions on stamp papers after the murders, apparently intending to gain control over the property and related documents. He allegedly believed the killings would never come to light and assured his daughter that they would not be caught.
Indushekar, also known as Shekhar, was arrested for allegedly murdering seven members of his wife’s family between October 16 and 31, 2026. The victims were identified as his wife Sunitha, mother-in-law Roopavathi, brothers-in-law Shivakumar and Shankar, their wives Nalini and Divya, and seven-year-old grandson Puneeth.
According to police, the killings began on October 16, when Indushekar allegedly attacked Sunitha with a grinding stone and later disposed of her body near Nandi Hills. Over the following two weeks, he allegedly lured other relatives to his house on different pretexts, including invitations for a drinking party and claims that other family members were away, before killing them.
Police initially reportedly found it difficult to believe his confession. However, officers recovered the bodies from locations indicated during the investigation, uncovering the scale of the alleged crime and the suspected role of his daughter in disposing of the remains.
