Bengaluru, Nov 11 (PTI) A DCP-rank officer has been appointed as the investigating officer to expedite the collection of evidence and filing of the chargesheet in connection with the murder of seven members of a family, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said on Wednesday.

    The accused, cab driver Indusekar alias Sekar, allegedly killed the members of his wife's family over domestic disputes in Bengaluru and dumped the bodies at different locations in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, police said.

    The case came to light after a missing-person complaint was registered by the mother of one of the deceased at the Srirampura police station on November 3.

    Speaking to reporters here, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said the murder case involving a cab driver was reported last week at Rajajinagar police station, while a missing person complaint was initially registered at Srirampura police station before it was converted into a murder case.

    He said one accused had been arrested in connection with the case and, based on his statement, police teams had visited various locations over the past three to four days to recover the bodies and complete all the necessary formalities.

    "During this process, all seven bodies have been recovered. The police are investigating every angle emerging so far, whether financial or personal. We have appointed a senior-level officer of DCP rank as the investigating officer so that we can collect evidence as quickly as possible and file the chargesheet," he said.
