On Wednesday, a 22-year-old IIT graduate and UPSC aspirant was brutally raped and murdered in her home in Kailash Hills, South Delhi. The accused, Rahul Meena, a 23-year-old former household employee, executed a planned attack after being fired two months prior due to a gambling addiction. He entered the apartment using a hidden key while the victim's parents were at the gym. After demanding money and being refused, Meena strangled the victim with a charger wire, assaulted her, and then raped her while she was unconscious. Following the crime, he attempted to access a fingerprint-protected family locker but failed and resorted to breaking it open. He fled with approximately ₹2 lakh (roughly $2,400 USD) in cash and ₹10 lakh (roughly $12,000 USD) worth of jewelry. The victim was discovered by her parents upon their return home. Meena was arrested later that evening and confessed to committing the crime for money. He has been charged with rape, murder, and robbery under Indian law.
