Shocking details have emerged from the investigation reports related to the sensational murder case of Siddharth Devendar Singh, relative of late Karnataka chief minister Dharam Singh, after the Bengaluru police detained his step-mother Indu Chauhan who is allegedly said to be the mastermind behind his death.

The accused woman is said to have offered money to the two main accused Vinod and Shyam Sunder Reddy to have him murdered over a property dispute worth crores in the city.

It is reported that the police found a bank transaction of an amount of Rs 75,000 made to Vinod’s account as an advance. She allegedly offered Rs 4 Lakh for his murder. Though Siddharth had gone missing on January 19, a missing complaint was filed on January 25 after his father suspected something was amiss.

After the complaint was registered, the Bengaluru police traced Siddharth's call records and zeroed in Vinod and Shyam Sundar Reddy who hailed from Andhra Pradesh. Even before they could be caught, Shyam had committed suicide in Tirupati and Vinod, who also tried to kill himself was saved by locals when he tried to jump in front of moving train.
