Bengaluru police refute serial killer claims in Indiranagar, cite rowdy sheeter involvement
Bengaluru: Panic spread in Indiranagar on February 9 after social media messages claimed that a serial killer was attacking people in the area. However, police have dismissed these rumours, clarifying that the incident involved a rowdy sheeter and not a serial killer.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) East, D Devaraja, stated that the accused, who has a history of petty theft and multiple cases against him, attacked four people with a knife on the night of February 8. According to the police, he was intoxicated and got into an altercation with his family before turning violent and injuring four individuals. He then fled the scene.
The victims are receiving treatment and are out of danger. An FIR has been registered at Indiranagar Police Station, and efforts are underway to apprehend the accused.
Police have urged the public not to spread unverified information that could cause panic. They also noted that Indian law does not specifically define a serial killer, but the term generally refers to an individual who commits multiple homicides where the victims are unknown, and the crimes are not personally motivated.
