In a shocking incident in South Delhi, Rahul Meena, a 19-year-old former domestic help, has been arrested for the alleged rape and murder of a 22-year-old woman, the daughter of a senior Indian Revenue Service officer. Meena gained entry into the family's home by exploiting their trust, claiming that 'Aunty' had called him. He had previously worked for the family for about eight months and was paid ₹20,000 (approximately $240 USD) per month. On the morning of the attack, the victim was studying alone at home while her parents were at the gym. CCTV footage captured Meena entering the colony around 6:30 am. Reports indicate he attempted to overpower the victim, inflicting severe injuries with a lamp and other objects, and subsequently raped her while she was unconscious. After the assault, he attempted to rob the house using the victim's fingerprint on a biometric scanner but failed, likely because she had died by then. He later stole cash and jewelry worth between ₹2 to ₹2.5 lakh (approximately $2,400 to $3,000 USD) before fleeing. Meena was arrested at a hotel in Dwarka, Delhi, and has been charged with rape, murder, and robbery. Investigators are exploring whether resentment over his dismissal from the job played a role in the crime.
