A 22-year-old woman, the daughter of a senior Income Tax Service (IRS) officer, was found dead under suspicious circumstances inside her residence in Amar Colony, Delhi, prompting a police investigation into suspected sexual assault and murder.
According to police, the woman’s body was discovered inside her home, intensifying the seriousness of the case. Police and forensic teams reached the scene, sealed the premises, and initiated an investigation. Officials stated that the case is highly sensitive and is being examined from all possible angles.
Police sources indicated that the victim may have been strangled using a mobile phone charging cable. However, confirmation of sexual assault and the exact cause of death will depend on the postmortem and forensic reports. The body has been sent for postmortem examination, and multiple pieces of evidence collected from the scene are under analysis.
The family has expressed suspicion against a former domestic worker who was dismissed approximately one and a half months ago. Police have identified him as the primary suspect and launched a search operation. The suspect is currently absconding, and multiple police teams have been formed to trace him using technical surveillance, including mobile location tracking.
Investigators have found that the victim was alone at home when the incident occurred, while other family members were away. Upon returning, they found her in suspicious circumstances and informed the police. This detail is considered critical, as it suggests the accused may have had prior knowledge of the household’s routine.
Police have registered a case under charges of murder and other serious offences. The investigation is progressing based on digital evidence, call records, CCTV footage, and forensic findings. Officials stated that efforts are underway to arrest the accused and establish the full sequence of events.
