Rajajingar murders: How did the accused transport bodies across locations without being intercepted?

Bengaluru At least three trips with seven bodies in the car to four different locations, and one of them an inter-State journey. Yet, the accused in the alleged Rajajinagar murders, Indushekhar, was never intercepted. This has raised questions about the effectiveness of the nakabandi (checkpoints) and night patrolling system in the city.

Indushekar, prime accused in the case where he killed his wife and six others from her family, resided in a building near (barely 100 metres) the famous Bhashyam Circle in Rajajinagar. The junction is barely 3 km from Majestic, the city’s transport hub. It connects to Chord Road, one of the major roads in the city.

The junction also provides connectivity between the central, western and southern parts of Bengaluru.
