Dr Gupta told the police that he wanted Meena to be removed from the job, but his family members refused to do so. He believed that she was bringing bad energy to the house, and this affected his son’s studies.
The news of the murder of a domestic help at Greater Kailash Colony sparked outrage.

Tensions briefly flared when protesters were not allowed to see the victim's body. Police later escorted Haldar's son to AIIMS hospital for identification purposes and further formalities. The investigation is underway.
Robin, son of the late Meena Haldar, said she had spent years working hard to support the family. “I can't believe my mother has been murdered in such a horrific way.

Hemant Tiwari, Deputy Commissioner of Police said, “Our team led by ACP Kalkaji along with SHO Amar Colony and other police officials immediately rushed to the scene of crime and found the dead body of a woman who was later identified as Meena Haldar.”
