In a dramatic breakthrough, Delhi Police have arrested Rahul Meena, the prime suspect in the murder and alleged sexual assault of a young woman in Amar Colony. The daughter of an Internal Revenue Service officer, she was allegedly killed in her home, with investigators piecing together evidence from a telling digital trail.

After the crime, Meena avoided capture by shunning his own mobile device, relying instead on a stolen phone from a previous incident in Rajasthan. Key digital evidence, including Internet Protocol Detail Records and Instagram communications, led police to his hiding place in a Dwarka hotel. It was a well-coordinated effort that eventually led to his arrest.

Meena, who had once worked at the victim's residence, allegedly exploited his knowledge of the family’s habits to commit the crime. In a chilling sequence of events, he reportedly attempted to steal valuables but escaped with cash and jewelry. The investigation continues, with police eyeing several angles, including online gambling ties and previous offenses.
