In South Delhi, a former house help broke into the home of a senior bureaucrat on a Wednesday morning, where he found the daughter studying alone; he bludgeoned her with a lamp, raped her while she was unconscious, and then dragged her downstairs to try opening a biometric safe, eventually forcing it open with a screwdriver and stealing cash and jewellery. The autopsy showed a head injury, nasal bone fracture and fatal asphyxia caused by a mobile‑phone‑charger cord. The accused claimed he acted because the victim refused him money, but police say his motive combined sexual violence and robbery, fuelled by a gambling debt of roughly ₹7 lakh and a sense of personal humiliation after being dismissed from the job six weeks earlier. He is also linked to a separate sexual‑assault case in Alwar, where he allegedly assaulted a friend’s wife shortly before returning to Delhi. (The victim’s identity is being kept confidential per Supreme Court directives.)
