IRS Officer’s Daughter Allegedly Assaulted, Strangled with Charger Cable: Delhi Police

A 22-year-old woman, the daughter of a senior bureaucrat, was found murdered at her residence in southeast Delhi’s Amar Colony area, police said on Wednesday.

The victim, the daughter of an Indian Revenue Service officer, was discovered by her family members inside the house under suspicious circumstances, following which the police were alerted.

The crime came to light after information was received in the morning, following which police teams reached the spot and initiated an investigation.

Preliminary inquiry suggests that the woman was sexually assaulted before being strangled using a mobile phone charger cable, police sources said.

The victim was alone at home at the time of the incident.

According to police, there were no signs of forced entry in the house. Suspicion has fallen on a domestic help who was recently removed, police said.

The sacked domestic help had arrived in Delhi last night from Alwar and is suspected to have used a spare key to enter the home.

The main suspect has been identified as Rahul, who is currently absconding, with several teams of the Delhi Police conducting raids to trace him, officials said.

Police added that the suspect was allegedly involved in a separate molestation incident in his locality in Alwar just a day before the killing incident in the national capital.
