A 30-year-old judicial officer was found dead at his residence in south Delhi, with police suspecting suicide after his body was discovered inside the bathroom of his Green Park home.
The deceased, Aman Kumar Sharma, was serving as Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) in North-East Delhi at Karkardooma Court. His posting has been confirmed by the Karkardooma Bar Association.
According to Delhi Police sources, a PCR call was received at Safdarjung Enclave police station at around 1.45 pm today.
The call was made by Shivam, the brother-in-law of the deceased, who told the police, “My brother has died by suicide in the bathroom at home.”Police teams reached the residence at Green Park Main soon after. Sharma was found inside the bathroom and was taken to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Initial findings suggest death by suicide, reportedly by hanging. Police said no signs of foul play have emerged so far, though all angles are being examined.
FAMILY ACCOUNT AND WIFE DISPUTE
According to a relative, quoting the father’s statement, Sharma had called his father around 10 pm the previous night and said, “I am very troubled, it has become difficult for me to live.”
The father, who was in Alwar, left immediately for Delhi and reached the house around midnight.
The family has alleged that Sharma was facing issues with his wife for the past two months. According to them, his wife is also a judicial officer, while her sister is an IAS officer posted in Jammu.
The father’s version states that Sharma had said he was being mentally harassed at home. “Nidhi Malik has full control in the house, everything happens as per her,” he allegedly told his father.The family further claimed that when the father tried to contact the wife’s parents, their number was blocked. A relative from her side was called to resolve the matter, but he later stepped away saying he could not intervene.

The father’s account also mentions that there was noise and argument inside the house. Sharma was in one room while his wife was in another.
“She was speaking loudly and Aman was crying,” the relative said, citing the father’s statement.
Later, when Sharma could not be found, his phone was dialled and it rang from inside the bathroom.
