Bengaluru YouTuber arrested for serial murders of seven family members

A 52-year-old car driver and YouTuber, Hindu Sekhar, has been arrested in Bengaluru for the serial murders of seven people, including his wife and in-laws, between October 16 and November 3. He allegedly killed them with a grinding stone and disposed of their dismembered bodies in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The murders came to light after the mother of one victim, Nalini, filed a missing person report. Sekhar reportedly lured each victim to his apartment, blasting the TV to mask their screams. He is also accused of using his 17-year-old daughter to help dispose of the bodies, promising her a share of a property worth 3 crore rupees. Police have recovered five bodies so far, including from Nandi Hills and Yercaud. An 11-year-old boy, who was with Sekhar during the disposal, survived. Sekhar's brother was also a murderer, having killed his own wife in 2018.
