IRS officer’s daughter murdered: Accused sold 3 mobile phones a day before, rented a car to come to Delhi from Alwar, fled without paying fare

Investigation has revealed that Meena, who worked as a domestic help at the house and was sacked about a month ago, sold his phone for Rs 10,000, and his brother’s and friend’s phones for Rs 3,000 each to a local shopkeeper.

“He reportedly told the shopkeeper that he would come back to return the money and buy back all three phones. Probe also revealed that he booked a Eeco van, working as a private ambulance in a private hospital in Rajgarh. He got down at Srinivas Puri (in South Delhi) on the pretext of asking for the exact address and managed to flee – without paying anything to driver Umedh Kumar. From there, he walked to the victim’s house in South Delhi, where his former employer and his wife had gone to the gym,” a source said.

Prime facie, it appears that Meena was aware of the family’s daily routine, said officers.

“Police have recovered CCTV footage showing Meena entering the house on Wednesday morning and he was last seen in Astha Kunj Park near Nehru Place,” the source said.

“CCTV cameras installed at the entrance to the victim’s room were streaming live to both her phone and her father’s phone. Police have also spotted Meena on a CCTV camera, installed in a nearby street, carrying a backpack,” the source added.
