On a somber Saturday, crime scene investigators meticulously recreated events at a southeast Delhi residence where a senior IRS officer's 22-year-old daughter was brutally raped and murdered. Officials are dedicated to unraveling the sequence of events, with extensive efforts to gather detailed information about the accused's movements from Alwar to Delhi.

Criminal actions of the accused, Rahul Meena, a former domestic help, drew on his familiarity with the house. Investigations reveal disturbing patterns in Meena's behavior, including excessive spending on online gambling, prostitution, and pornography. Forensic teams spent over two hours reconstructing events inside the residence.

Following the crime, Meena fled but was apprehended in a Dwarka hotel. Preliminary evaluations reveal a disturbingly calm demeanor post-arrest, with insights into his violent history emerging. Investigations now focus on psychological profiling to assess his mental state, while the police gather critical information from his native village.
