A 30-year-old judicial officer was found dead on Saturday at his residence in South Delhi’s Green Park area. The deceased, identified as Aman Kumar Sharma, was serving as the Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) for the North-East district at Karkardooma Court.
Preliminary investigations by the Delhi Police suggest that the officer died by suicide. The incident came to light following a PCR call received at the Safdarjung Enclave police station at approximately 1:45 PM today.
The emergency call was placed by the deceased’s brother-in-law, Shivam, a resident of Defence Colony. According to police sources, the caller informed authorities that his brother had died by suicide in the bathroom of the Green Park residence.
Upon receiving the alert, police teams rushed to the spot and found Sharma inside the bathroom. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital; however, doctors declared him dead on arrival.
“Initial information suggests that Sharma died by suicide, reportedly by hanging. No signs of foul play have emerged so far, though we are examining all possible angles,” a police official stated.
The body has been taken into custody and sent for a postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. Officials are currently recording statements from family members and close associates to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the tragedy.
Aman Kumar Sharma, son of Prem Kumar Sharma, was a rising figure in the Delhi Judicial Service, which he joined on June 19, 2021. He was an alumnus of Symbiosis Law School, Pune, where he completed his law degree in 2018.
During his tenure in the judicial service, Sharma presided over several civil and criminal matters across various courts. In October 2025, he took charge as the full-time Secretary of the DLSA in Karkardooma Court. His posting and professional standing were also confirmed by the Karkardooma Bar Association.
As of now, the police have not recovered a suicide note, and the motive behind the suspected act remains under investigation. Further details are awaited as the inquiry continues.
