BENGALURU: The killings of seven people have sent shockwaves across the city. Even the investigators were left shocked after discovering that a 17-year-old girl allegedly assisted her father in committing the murders, cleaning the crime scene and disposing of the bodies. Police suspect that the girl was brainwashed by her father, Indushekar.
