Investigators in Delhi are analyzing CCTV footage and gathering statements from relatives and neighbors of a doctor who allegedly killed his maid in Mount Kailash. The suspect, dermatologist Manish Gupta, was taken into police custody for two days after being arrested near the victim’s body. Police are looking into the motive behind the killing, which reportedly involved a cricket bat and a sharp-edged weapon.
Gupta’s wife, who resisted firing the maid despite her husband’s wishes due to her care for a family member, is also under scrutiny. The police sought custody of the doctor to aid in their investigation and recover potential evidence related to the case. Gupta’s lawyer argued against the extension of custody, stating that all necessary recoveries had already been made.
Residents in the colony mentioned hearing loud noises before the incident, indicating a possible altercation. Gupta, who has a history of depression, did not attempt to flee the scene. The doctor’s son, who was present during the incident, has been ruled out as a suspect. Further inquiries and statements from witnesses are being collected to piece together the events leading up to the tragic incident.
