CCTV Timeline Decodes 40-Minute Crime Window
According to the Hindustan Times, the police used CCTV footage to put together the order in which things happened. At 6:24 AM, the accused Rahul Meena was seen walking toward the house. He got in at 6:39 AM with a spare key that the house staff knew about.
The victim, who had graduated from IIT and wanted to take the UPSC exam, was studying in her terrace room when the attack happened. According to the police, Meena hit her, knocked her out, sexually assaulted her, and then strangled her.
In a disturbing turn of events, he is said to have dragged the body to a locker in order to use her fingerprints. If that didn’t work, he broke it open and took about ₹2.5 lakh in cash and jewellery. He was seen leaving at 7:20 AM after getting dressed.
Motive Tied to Gambling and Past Crimes
Delhi News: Investigators found that Meena had a gambling problem that was linked to the online card game Teen Patti, which cost her a lot of money. A month earlier, the victim’s family had fired him for stealing money.
Police also think he was involved in a similar attack in Alwar just a day before the one in Delhi, where he is said to have fled.
