A doctor was found dead in his South Delhi home on Thursday, with a severe neck wound, according to police reports. A suspect, 23-year-old dietician Sunny Sharma, has been detained for questioning.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan stated that they received a PCR call about the body discovered in Chattarpur Enclave. The victim, identified as Dr. Sambit Mohanty from Odisha, appeared to have suffered a violent attack, as evidenced by the blood scattered on the floor.

During the investigation, Sharma allegedly confessed to an altercation with Dr. Mohanty while delivering a diet subscription. The situation escalated when Sharma claimed Mohanty touched him inappropriately, leading Sharma to strangle the doctor and assault him with a knife and scissors from the kitchen. Further investigation into the matter is underway, Chauhan noted.
