The investigation into the murder of seven members of a family in Bengaluru is continuing, with the DCP of the North Division appointed as the Investigating Officer (IO), replacing the Rajajinagar Police Inspector who was initially handling the case.
City Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said the bodies of all seven victims had been recovered from different locations in forest areas across Chickaballapur, Salem, Mysuru and Shiradi Ghat.
The police are continuing their investigation to establish the exact motive behind the gruesome murders. During the course of the investigation, multiple possible motives have emerged, apart from the financial dispute angle, which is being examined in detail, he said.
The police have also requested the Home Department to appoint a Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) and establish a fast-track court to ensure the speedy trial and disposal of the case.
The possible involvement of other persons and the recovery of the weapons used in the murders are also being investigated, the Commissioner added.
