Authorities in Bengaluru are investigating how a suspect allegedly transported seven bodies across multiple locations, including an inter-state journey, without being intercepted by police checkpoints or patrols.
The accused, Indushekhar, is alleged to have made at least three trips over 15 days, moving bodies from Rajajinagar to destinations such as Mysuru, the Western Ghats, the Tamil Nadu border, and Chickballapur. This has raised questions regarding the effectiveness of the city’s nakabandi (checkpoints) and night patrolling systems.
A senior police officer stated that recreating the accused’s movements and gathering footage is a priority. The investigation will verify if the accused passed any checkpoints and if there was any negligence by officers. The immediate focus remains on recovering the bodies, with any potential dereliction of duty to be investigated later.
The police suspect the accused may have deliberately avoided routes with checkpoints and toll plazas, given his meticulous planning in other aspects of the alleged crimes. The officer also referenced a past case where a body was transported alone on a scooter without interception.
