A Delhi judicial officer’s death has turned into more than a routine inquest. Aman Kumar Sharma, 30, was found dead at his Green Park home on May 2, and police are treating the case as an apparent suicide. But the story did not stop at the scene. His family quickly alleged prolonged domestic harassment, which is why the case is now drawing attention far beyond one police station. (indianexpress.com) ### What happened? Sharma was a Delhi Judicial Services officer posted at Karkardooma Court. Police got a PCR call at about 1:45 pm on May 2 and reached his residence in the Safdarjung Enclave area, commonly described in reports as Green Park/Safdarjung. Officers said they had to break open the door, and Sharma was found hanging inside the home. His body was sent for post-mortem, and inquest proceedings were started. (indianexpress.com) ### Why are police calling it a suicide case? The immediate reason is the condition in which Sharma was found. Multiple reports say police have, at least for now, not found signs of foul play at the scene. That does not mean the inquiry is over. In an inquest like this, police still examine phone records, statements, family accounts, and the post-mortem before settling on a final view of the circumstances. (newindianexpress.com) ### Why is the family disputing the simple version? Because relatives say Sharma had been under severe stress for some time. Their account is that there was serious marital conflict, and that his wife and sister-in-law were harassing him. Some reports say family members described two months of escalating(newindianexpress.com)se has become so charged. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) ### Who is being discussed in those allegations? Reports identify Sharma’s wife as a judicial officer and mention his sister-in-law as an IAS officer. That detail matters because it changes how the public reads the case. This is no longer seen as only a private family tragedy. It now touches questions of power, professional pressure, and whether a judicial officer facing distress had any meaningful support system around him.

Others call him 35 or say he was in his early thirties. The more widely repeated figure across current reporting is 30, but that mismatch is a reminder that many details are still moving and some early accounts may be rough. (indianexpress.com) ### What happens next in a case like this? The post-mortem is key. Police will also keep recording statements from relatives and anyone present around the time of death, including the person who made the PCR call. If the family’s allegations are backed by evidence — messages, prior complaints, witness accounts, or other reco(indianexpress.com)d publicly. (newindianexpress.com) ### Why is this getting wider attention? Because Sharma was part of the judicial system itself. When a serving judicial officer dies in these circumstances, people do not read it as an isolated domestic dispute. They read it as a stress test for institutions — courts, police, and the broader support structures around high-pressure public service jobs. That is why the reaction has spread through legal circles so quickly. (indiatvnews.com) ### Bottom line? The known facts are still narrow: Aman Kumar Sharma was found dead on May 2, police suspect suicide, and the post-mortem and inquest are underway. But the family’s allegations have changed the stakes. The real question now is whether investigators treat those claims as background noise — or as the center of the case. (indianexpress.com)
