Rahul Meena, a 19-year-old man, is wanted in connection with the murder of a 22-year-old woman, the daughter of an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, in Southeast Delhi. Meena was hired as domestic help around 18 months ago based on a reference from a Superintendent-rank official from Rajasthan, bypassing the mandatory police verification process for domestic workers. The victim was discovered dead in her home, allegedly strangled with a mobile phone charger, and preliminary investigations suggest the possibility of sexual assault. Although Meena did not have a criminal record at the time of hiring, he reportedly became involved in multiple disputes within the community before leaving his job two months ago. Following the murder, he was found to have fled to Rajgarh, Rajasthan, where he allegedly molested a woman before disappearing. Police are actively working to locate him, with multiple teams from local law enforcement and the Crime Branch involved in the search.
