Bengaluru: The arrest of seven people in Bengaluru has led the police to three murders that were earlier filed away as "unnatural deaths" as the bodies were dumped on railway tracks so they could pass off as cases of suicide.
Shekar, Venkatesh, Kumar, Ganesha, Nagendra Kumar, Raju and Nagendra were arrested on Tuesday for the murder of a man called Suresh in 2014.
During their questioning, they confessed to killing another man, Yellapa, in 2001.
The body was dumped on the railway tracks. The police, failing to establish who it was, dismissed it as a suicide.
This time, it was Venkatesh's wife who was allegedly having an affair with Ramesh.
The third victim was Ramesh's brother Suresh, who had allegedly wanted revenge. Suresh was strangled and his body was dumped on railway tracks near Kengeri in the city's south.
The police started investigating people that Suresh had met in the days before his murder and also examined those he had fought with. The trail led to Venkatesh and his gang.
"From now on, we will have to look into UDR (Unnatural Death Report) cases more carefully, we have taken the postmortem report and are investigating further," said Praveen Sood, the Bengaluru police chief.
