Aman faced harassment for two months, claims father
The victim’s father, Prem Sharma, told relatives that his son called him at 10:00 pm on the night of the incident. During the call, Aman was reportedly very upset and said he had been facing harassment for two months. Family members also alleged that Aman had a heated argument with his wife, who is also a judicial officer, shortly before he was found.
Neighbours helped break a window to reach the officer after he failed to respond to knocks on the bathroom door.
Aman was a law graduate from Symbiosis Law School and had a promising career. He joined the Delhi Judicial Services in 2021 and had been working as a Full-Time Secretary for the District Legal Services Authority since October 2025.
