The house where the grisly crime took place in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: When police closed in on cabby Indushekhar near a photocopy shop in Ulsoorgate Wednesday, they found two children in his car: his 17-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old boy, the son of murder victims Shankar and Nalini . “Grandma, eat, or you won’t get any strength.
The accused confessed that he had been waiting for an opportunity to kill the boy too, according to police. You’re already weak,” he told her. The unsuspecting boy had spent time with Indushekhar, unaware that his parents were dead. At Rajajinagar police station Friday, the rescued boy sat beside his grandmother, Thungamma, who had first raised the alarm after realising that her daughter and son-in-law had disappeared. Devastated, she refused to eat. When a woman constable at the station failed to persuade her to have lunch, the cops asked the boy to try. She ate a little to reassure him. Police arrested him there.
On Wednesday morning, Indushekhar put the boy in the car again and drove towards Ulsoorgate with his daughter.
With traffic heavy, they turned back, the boy said. The daughter helped remove the bags from the car’s boot, according to the boy. A senior police officer said investigators suspect that the bags contained the bodies of some of the deceased victims.
They set off early and reached the foothills of Nandi Hills around 5am Sunday. On the way, Indushekhar stopped near a bend and threw out two gunny bags, saying they contained waste.
