Bengaluru Family Murders Investigated Amid Property Dispute and Forensic EvidencePreviousNext

In Bengaluru, Indushekar allegedly murdered seven family members, including his wife and mother-in-law, reportedly due to humiliation and a property dispute. Police suspect he took thumb impressions of the deceased to claim property and that his minor daughter assisted him, motivated by promises of inheritance. Forensic teams found evidence of attempts to clean bloodstains from the crime scene. Investigations link the motive to a disputed property in Srirampura worth around Rs 3 crore.
