On June 3, Debosmita Paul, an assistant professor at Shivaji College, University of Delhi, was found dead in her flat at Satyam Apartments in Vasudhara Enclave.
The incident came to the fore when the Paul's sister Devarati repeatedly called her sister but the calls went unanswered. Not receiving any response from her sister, Devarati went to her flat a day later and found it locked from outside. She broke open the door and found Paul lying in a pool of blood. Devarati then informed the cops, following which a police team was dispatched to the location. According to police, Paul was found dead with a deep injury on her head and several cuts on he wrist. Police said there was no sign of robbery since jewellery and cash were found untouched in the house. A murder case was filed, and an investigation was launched. During investigation, police searched CCTV cameras and found that the accused had visited Paul's flat wearing a mask. They later left the area in a cab, whose driver was detained and his ride details were accessed to identify the passengers.
According to a report in NDTV, the police rounded up 13 suspects from 200 individuals who had visited the housing complex on the fateul day and were questioned. Seven police teams also held raids across four states, including West Bengal, from where they eventually arrested the couple--Ramprasad Das and Banshree Das--- from Bardhaman and also detained their minor son. During interrogation, it was revealed that Paul owned a property worth crores in West Bengal that she had inherited after her maternal grandfather's death. The accused were tenants in that house and Paul had been pressuring the couple to vacate it.

According to police, when the couple visited Paul in Delhi, she was living alone in the flat. In 2022, she separated from her husband who is now in Bengaluru.
