A 52-year-old doctor was found brutally murdered in his flat in South Delhi's Maidangarhi on Thursday afternoon. Police apprehended the suspect, 23-year-old nutritionist Sunny Sharma, just hours after the crime.

Shocking Discovery at the Doctor’s Home

The murder was uncovered around noon when the doctor’s driver arrived at his residence to pick him up. The victim was discovered lying in a pool of blood, suffering from multiple stab wounds and a deep cut on his neck. Authorities suspect the murder took place the night before.

Police officials confirmed that a PCR call reporting the incident was received at the Maidangarhi police station at 11:55 a.m.

Suspect Traced Through CCTV and Arrested

Investigators swiftly examined CCTV footage from the area, which led them to the suspect. Sunny Sharma, who works as a nutritionist, was located and detained in the Maidangarhi area.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan, the suspect was acquainted with the victim. During initial questioning, Sharma reportedly confessed to killing the doctor, claiming the doctor had behaved inappropriately with him. The police are currently verifying these statements as the investigation progresses.

Connection Between the Victim and the Accused

Further investigation revealed that Sharma had met the doctor two weeks prior. Besides his work as a nutritionist, Sharma also supplied health and wellness products. He had visited the doctor’s home on Wednesday to discuss a diet subscription plan.

Police reports suggest that during the visit, the doctor allegedly acted inappropriately, leading Sharma to attack him. It was found that Sharma used a knife and scissors from the doctor's kitchen to commit the murder.
