Rahul Meena, a 23-year-old accused of the heinous rape and murder of a 22-year-old woman in Kailash Hills, Delhi, checked into a hotel in Dwarka shortly after the crime. The hotel manager recounted that Meena appeared calm and sweet during their interaction, even apologizing for not having an ID. Police later revealed that he used a fake name, Rahul Kumar, while booking the room.
