Delhi Judicial Officer Aman Kumar Sharma Found Dead at Green Park Residence; Suicide Suspected, Family Alleges Harassment by Wife

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, a 30-year-old judicial officer, Aman Kumar Sharma, was found dead at his residence in South Delhi’s Green Park area. Police suspect the case to be a suicide, while further investigation is underway. Sharma, who was serving as Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) in the North-East district at Karkardooma Courts, was discovered inside the bathroom of his home and was later declared dead at Safdarjung Hospital.

Police reached the scene after Sharma’s brother-in-law informed them that he had allegedly taken his own life. Family members, who had been unable to contact him, grew concerned and went to his residence. When they called his phone, it rang from inside the locked bathroom. Upon gaining access, Sharma was found hanging. He was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

Police have initiated an investigation, and the body has been sent for post-mortem examination. Officials stated that initial findings suggest suicide by hanging, and no foul play has been established so far. However, all possible angles are being examined, and statements from family members are being recorded to determine the circumstances that led to the incident.
