New Delhi: The Delhi Police Thursday arrested a man for allegedly killing a 52-year-old doctor inside his house in south Delhi’s Chattarpur Enclave area.
According to the police, the deceased, Dr Sambit Mohanty, who was originally from Odisha’s Cuttack, had befriended the accused two weeks ago. During questioning, the 23-year-old accused Sunny Sharma said he killed the doctor in anger after he allegedly tried to touch him inappropriately. They had also scuffled before the murder, Sharma told cops.
The deceased was a pathologist by profession.
The police got a call around noon Thursday about the crime. They arrived to find the doctor lying in a pool of blood, with a prominent gash on his neck.
The cops, however, managed to round up Sharma, a health diet supplier, who confessed to the murder during interrogation.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan said Sharma murdered the doctor the day before.
“Sharma had gone to the victim’s house to provide details about a health diet prescription when the doctor started touching him. He said that he went into a fit of rage…. He then strangled the man and slit his throat.”
The officer said Sharma used a knife and a pair of scissors as weapons, which he found in the doctor’s kitchen. The accused then fled from the spot, the police said.
The victim’s body was found the next day by neighbours and the house help.

Reporting the details of a case, especially allegations made by a suspect, without clear evidence or a legal verdict, can be deeply irresponsible and hurtful. This approach can tarnish the reputation of the victim and add immense distress to their grieving family and friends.
Such reporting practices often prioritize readership over responsibility, which is unethical. The headlines of the article are clickbait.
