Delhi Crime: IRS Officer’s Daughter Found Dead in Amar Colony House, Police Launch Manhunt

A 22-year-old woman was allegedly murdered inside her home in Amar Colony on Wednesday, with investigators pointing to strangulation as the cause of death.

Police suspect the attacker used a cable-possibly a mobile phone charger-to kill the victim. The crime is believed to have taken place while the woman was alone at the residence. Her parents, including her father, an IRS official, had stepped out for an evening walk when the incident occurred.

According to initial findings, a former house help has emerged as the prime suspect. Officials say he had recently been dismissed from his job and may have entered the flat during the family's absence. Investigators are examining whether the removal from service could have triggered anger or a premeditated act of violence.

The case came to light when the parents returned home and discovered their daughter unresponsive. Police teams were alerted immediately, and the scene was secured for forensic examination.

Officers say the pattern of injuries is consistent with strangulation using a wire-like object. A cable recovered from the spot is being examined as a potential murder weapon. Meanwhile, multiple teams have been deployed across South Delhi to track down the suspect.

CCTV footage from surrounding areas is being scanned to trace the suspect's movements before and after the crime. Police say efforts are underway to establish a clear timeline and ensure a swift arrest in the case.
