The investigation into the murder of an IRS officer's daughter in Delhi has uncovered that the primary accused had a history of violent behavior. According to police sources, the accused, identified as a local resident, was previously involved in multiple assault cases and had been booked under various charges.
Details of the Case
The victim, a 22-year-old woman, was found dead under suspicious circumstances in her home in the Dwarka area. Initial post-mortem reports indicated strangulation as the cause of death. The accused, who was known to the family, was arrested after a thorough probe.
Previous Criminal Record
Police records show that the accused had a violent past, including an incident where he allegedly attacked a neighbor with a sharp weapon. He was also involved in a road rage case that resulted in injuries to a pedestrian. Despite these incidents, he managed to evade long-term detention.
Investigation Progress
The Delhi Police have formed a special investigation team (SIT) to look into the case. They are examining the accused's phone records and social media activity to establish a motive. Forensic experts have collected evidence from the crime scene, including fingerprints and DNA samples.
Family's Response
