Shocking Murder of UPSC Aspirant in Delhi
A 25-year-old UPSC aspirant was brutally murdered by her live-in partner in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar, a prominent coaching hub. The accused, Rahul Sharma (27), allegedly recorded obscene videos of 15 other women without consent, uncovering a disturbing pattern of exploitation.
How the Crime Unfolded
The victim, Priya Singh (name changed), had been in a live-in relationship with Rahul for over a year. Neighbors reported hearing screams before police discovered her body with multiple stab wounds. Rahul fled but was later arrested in Noida.
During interrogation, he confessed to the murder but claimed it was a “crime of passion.” Investigations took a darker turn when police found pen drives containing explicit recordings of other women—some of whom were also UPSC aspirants.
Blackmail & Exploitation of Victims
Police revealed that Rahul secretly recorded intimate videos of women, including former partners, and used them for blackmail. One survivor stated he lured her under the guise of UPSC mentorship before threatening to leak footage if she ended the relationship.
Public Outrage & Calls for Justice
The case has triggered nationwide anger, with activists demanding stricter cybercrime laws and better protection for women. Kavita Krishnan, a women’s rights advocate, criticized authorities for potentially ignoring prior complaints.
Legal Action & Ongoing Probe
Rahul faces charges under:
– IPC 302 (Murder)
– IPC 376 (Rape)
– IPC 354C (Voyeurism)
– IT Act (Obscene content)
Police are identifying other victims to provide legal and psychological support.
A Society-Wide Wake-Up Call
The tragedy highlights risks in live-in relationships, academic pressure on students, and digital exploitation. Priya’s family seeks the death penalty, calling her a “bright student with national service dreams.”
