The 19-year-old arrested for the rape and murder of a 21-year-old woman in Delhi’s Kailash Hills area is a serial offender who had raped another woman in Rajasthan’s Alwar just hours before the crime in the capital, police said on Thursday (April 23, 2026).
Rajasthan Police have formed a special team to probe the rape charge against Rahul Meena (19) in Alwar, after he was arrested from Delhi’s Dwarka.
Alwar SP Sudhir Chaudhary said, "We have detained over half a dozen people for questioning.”
On Wednesday (April 22), a woman lodged a complaint at the Rajgarh police station in Alwar district alleging that Rahul raped her on Tuesday night, Mr. Chaudhary said, adding that the probe has been handed over to Rajgarh DSP Manisha Meena. The accused also allegedly threatened to kill the woman if she revealed her ordeal to anyone, according to the complaint.
In the complaint, the survivor’s husband alleged that he had gone to attend a wedding with the accused on Tuesday evening, where he spent the night, while Rahul returned to the village later and allegedly committed the crime in his house.
