2 youths held for Uttam Nagar maid murder

Two youths have been arrested for allegedly being involved in the murder of a maid at her employer's house in the Uttam Nagar area, police said.

The accused have been identified as Agam Kohli, who is pursing a BA from Delhi University, and Gagandeep.

The maid, Inderjeet Singh (45), was yesterday killed while the baby she used to look after was also found injured in a flat in house No.B-21 at Rama Park in West Delhi's Uttam Nagar, police said.

"During interrogation, Agam revealed that he was earlier working in a placement agency on the first floor of building number B-21, Rama Park.
 

"He came to know that the fourth floor of B-21 was occupied by a nuclear family where the couple was working and their child was being looked after by a baby-sitter during the day," said a senior police officer.

The accused hatched a plan to rob the house and used a BSES electricity disconnection notice as a ruse to gain entry into the premises, police said.

According to police, the duo also assaulted the two-year- old kid whom Singh used to look after.
