The owner who had employed the maid was completely unaware of the brutal crime and instead had lodged a complaint with the police stating that her maid had gone missing, along with some cash.

The accused, identified as Jitender alias Goldy (50), had been in a relationship with the deceased woman but their relationship had recently soured.

Sharing more details, Deputy Commissioner of Police (south) Ankit Chauhan said a woman, who is a resident of Panchsheel Park, Hauz Khas, approached the police on September 26 stating that her maid had stolen ₹43,000 in cash and disappeared. The cops tried to call the maid, but her phone number was switched off.
