In yet another brutal murder in the national capital, a 21-year-old woman was found dead on Wednesday morning at her home in Delhi’s Kailash Hills.
According to police, the woman was found lying inside the house, and preliminary investigations indicate that she was strangled, HT reported earlier.
As the murder investigation continued, more details emerged, with police stating that the woman had been strangled with a mobile phone charger cord.
Based on a report by news agency ANI, police suspect that the charging cable was used to strangle the victim, who is also the daughter of a government employee.
Police officials suspect that the former domestic help was behind the crime. Officials added that suspicions are hovering around the former domestic servant, who was dismissed from service about a month and a half ago.
As the suspect fled, security forces were working to determine his whereabouts.
“The role of the former servant is being examined. Teams have been formed to track him down,” a senior officer told HT.
Reports also added that the woman has completed her engineering course and is now preparing to appear for the UPSC exams.
Besides the murder, police also suspect sexual assaults. But officials are awaiting the autopsy report to confirm the nature of the injuries.
