A routine morning in a senior bureaucrat’s home in South Delhi became the site of a horrific crime. Police say the accused knew exactly how to make it happen.

He slipped into the south Delhi house on the morning of April 22.

There he found his former employer’s daughter alone, bludgeoned her with a lamp, raped her as she lay unconscious, and then dragged her downstairs to try open a biometric safe. He finally fled with cash and jewellery from the safe.
