Rohit Meena, a 23-year-old domestic worker in Southeast Delhi, has been charged with the rape and murder of a 22-year-old woman, the daughter of an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer. Meena, originally from Rajgarh in Alwar, Rajasthan, moved to Delhi three years ago and struggled to find stable employment. After being employed by the IRS officer's family for 18 months, he developed a gambling addiction that led him to accumulate debts of around ₹7 lakh (approximately $8,400 USD). Despite initially winning some money playing teen patti, an online card game, his losses escalated, prompting him to seek loans and fail to pay local shopkeepers. After being dismissed from his job due to his gambling-related issues, Meena allegedly planned the attack, leveraging his knowledge of the family's routine and security measures. Tragically, he had a prior sexual assault incident just days before the murder, highlighting a disturbing pattern of behavior.
