00:06Daughter of IRS officer murdered in Delhi's Amar Colony locality.
00:10The deceased young woman was approximately 22 years old
00:14and preliminary information suggests that sexual assault may also have been involved.
00:19The murder was committed by strangling the victim with a mobile charging cable.
00:25Suspicion for the murder falls on a former domestic help
00:29who had been dismissed from his job about a month and a half ago.
00:33The police received information regarding the incident on Wednesday morning.
00:37The incident has occurred in the Amar Colony area of Southeast Delhi.
00:41The domestic help hails from Rajasthan.
00:43He had been fired a few weeks ago.
00:46The victim was strangled, allegedly using a wire or a cable.
00:51Delhi police sources have told India Today that the deceased young woman
00:54held an engineering degree and was currently preparing for the UPSC examination
01:00and the suspicion for murder rests on the former domestic help.
01:03Her parents had left for the gym earlier this morning.
01:08The police have launched a manhunt to apprehend the accused.
01:12The reason for suspending the former domestic help
01:14is that the accused was spotted on CCTV footage near the house at around 6 a.m.
01:20It is suspected that the accused may have been lying in wait,
01:24hiding nearby and intending to enter the house once the parents had left.
01:30Anshul Singh is live from the spot.
01:33He is joining us from there.
01:36Anshul, what more do we know about the case?
01:38What more do we know about the allegations?
01:44Well, yes, a massive manhunt has already been launched by Delhi police at this point in time.
01:49But over here, I'll try to show you the visual scene.
01:51Officers of the Delhi police have reached on the ground.
01:54And these are the CCTV footages.
01:55In fact, CCTV cameras that have been placed right outside the residence
01:59in which the said accused has been captured.
02:01Now, crime FSI in the investigation and the CCTV footages
02:04that have been looked into by the Delhi police,
02:06it seems like that the said accused, the former house self was actually waiting
02:11in this entire area since morning itself.
02:13And once he saw that the parents of the girl were out
02:17and he hoped that the house would be empty, he enters inside the house.
02:22Now, at this point in time, it is also being looked into
02:24as to what was the exact intention of the said accused
02:27because it is also expected that there could be an attempt of robbery
02:33that could have also been made over here.
02:34And that is something that is being looked at by the Delhi police
02:37at this point in time.
02:38Forensic teams have reached over here.
02:39Senior officers of the district have also reached over here.
02:43A massive manhunt has already been launched.
02:45But yes, the manner in which this entire incident has happened
02:48in this very, very posh area of Amar colony
02:50has definitely raised a massive, massive alarm
02:53for the locals who are staying in this area and nearby areas as well.
02:57So, yes, it remains to be seen how quickly can the Delhi police
02:59now actually go ahead and trace the said accused
03:02and bring him to the books.
03:03But yes, this is actually seem like a planned incident
03:07that has taken place.
03:08The accused was waiting over here.
03:10Prime FSI, it is seeming like that,
03:12that the accused was waiting over here.
03:14He knew the timings at which the owners of the house
03:16would actually leave the house.
03:17I'm just saying, at the moment,
03:18since the preliminary investigation is ongoing,
03:21let's leave it at that.
03:22Let's let the police actually investigate
03:24what has happened in this particular case.
