<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: A 23-year-old man accused of raping and murdering the daughter of an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer in south Delhi had allegedly carried out another sexual assault just hours earlier in Rajasthan\u2019s Alwar, police have said. Investigators say the suspect, Rahul Meena, travelled to Delhi the morning after the alleged rape in Alwar, entered his former employer\u2019s home in Kailash Hills using a spare key, and went directly to a rooftop study where the 22-year-old victim was present. Police allege he attacked her, strangled her with a mobile phone charging cable and later assaulted her while she was unconscious. \u201cThe investigation suggests that the accused raped the victim while she was still unconscious. He then dragged her down the stairs to another room where a locker was kept, and attempted to open the biometric lock using her fingerprint, but it did not open,\u201d a police official said.Also read: ‘It just happened’: Rahul Meena ‘remorseless’, raped IRS officer’s daughter while she was unconscious, claim Delhi cops<\/a> He is then accused of breaking open the locker, stealing cash and jewellery, changing his blood-stained clothes and leaving shortly before the victim\u2019s parents returned home.Key details:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Police officials said the suspect had shown little remorse during interrogation and had changed his statements multiple times. However, in court, his tone appeared different. \u201cMujhse apradh ho gaya. Galti ho gayi (I committed a crime, a mistake),\u201d Meena told Judicial Magistrate Deepika Thakaran, who granted police four days\u2019 custody. Asked about his motive, he said: \u201cPaise ke liye kiya (I did it for money).\u201d The magistrate responded: \u201cSo you\u2019re admitting the offence… I am not treating this as a confession.\u201dAlso read: \u2018Paise ke liye kiya\u2019: Man accused in south Delhi rape-murder case tells court<\/a> <\/p>\n Meena had worked as a domestic help for the family for about eight months before being dismissed a month ago over alleged financial misconduct. Police say he was familiar with the layout of the house and the family\u2019s routine, including the parents\u2019 morning schedule. They believe he viewed his dismissal as a personal humiliation and may have planned the attack over several weeks while staying in his village in Alwar. <\/p>\n Authorities in Rajasthan say Meena is also facing a separate rape charge there. According to police, he allegedly entered the home of a woman known to him on Tuesday night and assaulted her while her husband was away at a wedding. \u201cThe survivor has undergone a medical examination. We are sharing all the inputs with Delhi Police to fast-track the investigation,\u201d Alwar Superintendent of Police Sudhir Chaudhary said. The woman also alleged that he threatened to kill her if she spoke about the incident. <\/p>\n A post-mortem examination in the Delhi case found multiple injuries on the victim\u2019s body, including abrasions and a nasal bone fracture. Doctors said the findings were consistent with resistance and confirmed death due to strangulation. \u201cThe findings show death due to strangulation following assault. The preserved swabs and nail scrapings have been sent for further analysis to ascertain whether rape took place,\u201d an official said. <\/p>\n Police are now reconstructing the suspect\u2019s movements from Alwar to Delhi and then to a hotel in Dwarka, where he was arrested. They are also working to recover stolen items, including the victim\u2019s phone, and to establish a complete timeline using CCTV footage. \u201cIt is a heinous crime. We are also investigating a similar case against him that took place in Alwar,\u201d prosecutors told the court. Officials say they will also conduct DNA profiling and further forensic analysis as part of the investigation.<\/div>\n\n
