Tragedy As Cab Driver K!lls Wife, Mother-in-Law, Brothers-in-Law, Their Wives And 7-Year-Old Grandson

A 52-year-old cab driver in Bengaluru, India, identified as Indushekar, has reportedly told police that he feels at peace after allegedly murdering seven members of his wife’s family over a property dispute and what he described as years of humiliation.

The suspect, also known as Shekhar, was arrested following investigations into the killings, which allegedly occurred 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 his seven-year-old grandson, Puneeth.

According to police investigations, the killings began on October 16, when Indushekar allegedly attacked his wife with a grinding stone, killing her before dumping her body near Nandi Hills.

He reportedly lured other members of the family to his residence over the following days using different excuses, including invitations to drinking parties and claims that some relatives were away on trips, before allegedly killing them.

During interrogation, the suspect reportedly told investigators that his wife and her relatives constantly insulted and disrespected him.
Police investigations also identified his daughter as an alleged accomplice. She reportedly assisted in the killings and the disposal of the bodies after her father allegedly promised to transfer his wife’s share of the family property to her.

Investigators said the daughter helped move the bodies and procured chemicals and other materials used to clean bloodstains from the house in an attempt to destroy evidence.
The murders are believed to be connected to a property dispute involving an estimated Rs 3 crore property in Bengaluru’s Srirampura locality.

Indushekar had allegedly demanded a larger share of the property from his mother-in-law, Roopavathi, who reportedly insisted that it should be distributed fairly, considering the interests of her two sons.

Police also suspect that the accused obtained the victims’ thumbprints on stamp papers after killing them, allegedly as part of an attempt to take control of the property and its documents.
Investigators said the suspect believed he would never be caught and transported the bodies to different locations to conceal the crimes.

Police initially found it difficult to believe his confession until they recovered the bodies from the locations he reportedly identified.
The investigation is ongoing.
