Summary
- Doctor allegedly stabbed his long-time domestic help at least six times.
- Neighbors witnessed the brutal attack from their apartment.
- A decorative knife, reportedly 14-15 years old, was used.
On July 18, 2026, a doctor in South Delhi, identified as Manish Gupta, allegedly murdered his domestic help, Meena Halder, who had worked for his family for 16 years. The incident occurred around 10:45 am in Kailash Hills. Neighbors witnessed the doctor repeatedly stabbing Meena Halder on the terrace of his building.
The 45-year-old domestic help was allegedly attacked with a decorative knife. Police cited 42 witnesses, including the couple who saw the event unfold. Investigations revealed that discord had been growing between Gupta and Halder for about a year, reportedly stemming from Gupta's belief that Halder interfered too much in household matters and negatively influenced his son.
Gupta had reportedly asked his wife to fire Halder two months prior, but his wife refused. On the morning of the murder, Gupta became enraged when Halder did not immediately clean his clinic as requested. He then allegedly asked her to clean a storeroom on the terrace, where he attacked her. The chargesheet includes statements from 42 witnesses and evidence such as bloodstained slippers.
