Indushekhar reportedly carried out the killings at his rented Rajajinagar residence by sedating the victims with sleeping pills before crushing them with a grindstone. He then wrapped the remains in plastic and gunny bags, allegedly stealing and selling gold jewellery taken from four female victims. Police further suspect his 17-year-old daughter assisted in several of the murders and subsequent disposals. A postmortem examination on a seven-year-old victim confirmed that the child suffered four fatal blunt-force injuries to the head.
