Delhi Doctor Arrested for Murder of Domestic Help in Mount Kailash

Delhi Doctor Arrested for Murder of Domestic Help in Mount KailashPreviousNext

In South Delhi's Mount Kailash area, dermatologist Dr. Manish Gupta was arrested for allegedly murdering his 45-year-old domestic help, Meena Haldar, by beating her with a cricket bat and stabbing her with a knife. The incident occurred on the terrace of his residence, where he was found sitting beside her body. Police investigations reveal a possible motive linked to family disputes over Meena's continued employment and Gupta's suspicions of her bringing 'bad energy' or practicing black magic. Gupta, who has a history of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, admitted to the attack. Authorities are examining all angles, including mental health factors, and have recovered the weapons used. The case has shocked the local community and is under active investigation.
