In a significant development in the murder case of seven members of a family, which has sent shockwaves across Karnataka, police have now successfully recovered all seven bodies.
The latest breakthrough came on Monday (November 9, 2026), with police recovering two more bodies from Shiradi Ghat. The bodies are suspected to be those of Shankar, the accused Indushekhar's brother-in-law and his wife Nalini, who were among the seven victims.
Following the discovery, teams from the Rajajinagar police station, along with personnel from Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), left Bengaluru for Shiradi Ghat to inspect the spot and conduct further investigation. More details are expected after the police complete the spot inspection and establish the identities of the deceased.
This comes a day after the police recovered two bodies of the accused's brother-in-law Shivakumar and his wife Divya, from the foothills of Chamundi Hills on Sunday (November 8, 2026). A day before that, police had recovered two more bodies of the accused's wife Sunita and her mother Roopavathi, from Salem, Tamil Nadu.
