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.The unsuspecting boy had spent time with Indushekhar, unaware that his parents were dead. According to police, the accused confessed that he had been waiting for an opportunity to kill the boy too.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. “Grandma, eat, or you won’t get any strength. You’re already weak,” he told her. She ate a little to reassure him.The boy later told TOI that Indushekhar picked him up from his home in Srirampura last Saturday evening, saying his parents had gone on a pilgrimage. That night, Indushekhar took him to his home near Bhashyam Circle, where he was given food and snacks. The accused’s daughter told him they would visit Ghati Subramanya temple near Doddaballapur the following morning, claiming that his parents, Shankar and Nalini, were already there.They set off early and reached the foothills of Nandi Hills around 5am Sunday. With traffic heavy, they turned back, the boy said. On the way, Indushekhar stopped near a bend and threw out two gunny bags, saying they contained waste. According to the boy, the daughter helped remove the bags from the car’s boot. A senior police officer said investigators suspect that the bags contained the bodies of some of the deceased victims.The group returned to Indushekhar’s home that afternoon. The boy noticed that his grandmother and other relatives repeatedly called Indushekhar, who seemed irritated as he answered. They stayed at the house overnight. When the boy said he wanted to return to his grandmother, Thungamma, Indushekhar allegedly refused. The man and his daughter then told him, smiling, that he would soon join his parents on their pilgrimage, the boy said.On Wednesday morning, Indushekhar put the boy in the car again and drove towards Ulsoorgate with his daughter. Police arrested him there.
