Delhi Dermatologist Charged with Murder of Domestic Help Over Work Dispute
A 50-year-old dermatologist, Manish Gupta, was charged with murdering his 45-year-old domestic help, Meena Haldar, in June at his residence in southeast Delhi's Kailash Hills. Police allege Gupta became enraged because Haldar prioritized his wife's instructions over his demands to clean his clinic.

The case is scheduled for cognisance consideration on September 18 before a Saket magistrate.
