A Delhi police investigation alleges that dermatologist Dr. Manish Gupta killed his domestic help, Meena, at his South Delhi home. According to police, Gupta is struggling with violent thoughts and has been assessed as “depressed.” Investigators say his deteriorating mental health, along with marital disputes involving the domestic help, contributed to the incident. Police also claim they found indications that Gupta considered harming his wife and son as well as himself before Meena was killed.
The domestic help had worked with the family for more than 15 years, police say. Following the alleged murder, Gupta is being held in police custody for two days, the reports state. Police are continuing to examine the circumstances leading up to the killing, including Gupta’s mental health history, the nature of any disputes within the household, and the timeline of events. The reports characterize the case as involving both an alleged violent act and police claims about prior intent.
