Indushekhar, the prime accused
Bengaluru: Each time Indushekhar allegedly attacked a victim, he turned up the television volume to avoid attracting attention, police said. Their owners said they had no knowledge of the alleged killings until they saw reports on TV. Only now, after watching electronic channels, did we come to know about the incident,” said Basavaraja, who runs a TV repair shop.
After the killings, he and his daughter allegedly wrapped the bodies in several layers of large plastic covers before placing them in gunny bags. The covers were used to prevent blood from leaking out, police added. The house at 59th Cross, Rajajinagar V Block, is where police believe all seven people were killed. Indushekhar had rented it for eight years. It comprised a large hall, a room and an adjoining kitchen. A board bearing the words ‘Thana Vaarte-Maasika Patrike’ (monthly news on stations) was prominently displayed on the walls, indicating that Indushekhar edited a monthly magazine by that name. Three shops, each measuring about 20×25 feet, are located on the ground floor beneath the residence. “We don’t know anything about the murders.
