Cab Driver Kills 7 Relatives With Grindstone
7 Nov
Summary
- Cab driver allegedly killed seven relatives over 15 days.
- Victims were invited for meals and crushed with a grindstone.
- Disputes with wife for 20 years cited as motive.
In late October, a 52-year-old cab driver from Bengaluru allegedly committed a series of brutal murders, claiming the lives of his wife and six members of her extended family over a two-week period. The accused, identified as S Indushekhar, reportedly lured his victims to his residence between October 16 and October 31 under the guise of meals.
Investigators allege that Indushekhar used a grindstone to crush his relatives to death. The victims included his wife, mother-in-law, two brothers-in-law, their wives, and one of their young sons. The motive, according to initial interrogations, appears to be a long-standing conflict with his wife, spanning nearly two decades, and resentment towards her relatives for their perceived support during disputes.
The grim discovery was made after concerned relatives reported several family members missing, having lost contact by October 31. Police apprehended Indushekhar near Ulsoorgate on Wednesday, finding a minor boy in his vehicle, whom the accused allegedly confessed to planning to kill as well. His 17-year-old daughter is also suspected of involvement.
