A shocking crime in south Delhi’s Kailash Hills has revealed disturbing details about the alleged assault and murder of a 22-year-old woman. The accused, a 23-year-old former household employee identified as Rahul Meena, has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Police investigators stated that the accused entered the victim’s residence early in the morning by using a spare key that had reportedly been kept outside the house. The victim was alone at the time, as her parents had stepped out. Meena, who was familiar with the home due to his prior employment, went directly to her room.
According to officials, the woman was attacked and rendered unconscious. The accused allegedly sexually assaulted her while she was incapacitated. Investigators further revealed that he dragged her body from one floor to another in an attempt to access a biometric locker that required her fingerprints. However, he was unsuccessful in opening it.

Police said the victim was later strangled using a mobile phone charger cable. The sequence of events, as described by investigators, suggests that the crime involved both sexual assault and robbery motives.
Authorities also noted that the accused had previously worked for the family and was aware of the house layout and security arrangements. His familiarity with the premises is believed to have enabled him to carry out the crime during a brief window when the house was unoccupied except for the victim.
Further investigations have revealed that Meena was wanted in connection with another alleged sexual assault in Rajasthan prior to the Delhi incident. He was apprehended within hours of the crime and is currently in police custody as the probe continues.
The case has raised serious concerns about residential security practices and the risks associated with leaving access points unsecured, particularly in urban households.
