Full timeline of Delhi Judge Aman Sharma suicide case, family allegations, FIR under BNS Section 108, legal position on abetment of suicide, and men’s rights perspective.

DELHI JUDGE AMAN SHARMA SUICIDE CASE: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

A 30-year-old Delhi Judicial Services officer, Aman Kumar Sharma, was found dead at his Safdarjung/Green Park residence in Delhi. Police initially said preliminary inquiry suggested death by hanging and that no foul play had been established so far, but all angles were being examined.

His family, however, has raised serious allegations of harassment and domestic distress before his death.

This case is not merely about one tragic death. It is about a larger, uncomfortable truth: men’s mental health inside marriage is still not taken seriously unless the man dies.

Aman Kumar Sharma was a Delhi Judicial Services officer.

He joined the service on 19 June 2021 and was serving as Full-Time Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, North-East District, Karkardooma Courts, since October 2025.

FIR AND LEGAL SECTIONS REPORTED

As per reports, allegations relate to abetment of suicide.

BNS Section 108 — Abetment Of Suicide

BNS Section 108 corresponds to old IPC Section 306. It punishes abetment of suicide with imprisonment which may extend to 10 years and fine.

BNS Section 61(2) — Criminal Conspiracy

Section 61 deals with criminal conspiracy. It becomes relevant only if investigation shows an agreement between two or more persons to commit an unlawful act or legal act by unlawful means.

BNSS Section 194 — Inquest In Unnatural Death

BNSS Section 194 requires police inquiry and report in suicide or suspicious death cases. It is meant to record apparent cause of death and surrounding circumstances.

IMPORTANT LEGAL POSITION: HARASSMENT ALONE IS NOT ALWAYS ABETMENT

The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that for abetment of suicide, prosecution must show mens rea, active instigation, intentional aid, or a proximate act which pushed the deceased to suicide.

In M. Mohan v State, the Supreme Court held that conviction under Section 306 IPC requires clear mens rea and an active or direct act which led the deceased to commit suicide seeing no option.

In Madan Mohan Singh v State of Gujarat, the Court held that the accused must have intended to aid, instigate or abet the suicide.

In Amalendu Pal v State of West Bengal, the Supreme Court held that a more active role, amounting to instigation or aiding, is required before a person can be said to have abetted suicide.

In Geo Varghese v State of Rajasthan, the Supreme Court held that mere allegation of harassment is not enough unless there is cogent proof of incitement or proximate conduct.

WHAT IS CONFIRMED AND WHAT IS STILL ALLEGED?

Confirmed From Reports

• Aman Kumar Sharma died by suspected suicide.
• Police initiated inquiry/inquest.
• Family has alleged harassment and distress.
• Police said no foul play had been established at the initial stage.
• A FIR was reportedly registered naming his wife and her cousin.

Still Alleged / Under Investigation

• Whether harassment actually took place.
• Whether any person legally abetted the suicide.
• Whether there was conspiracy.
• Whether the reported note saying no one was responsible affects the prosecution case.

MEN’S RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE: THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO ASK

If a woman says she is harassed in marriage, society immediately listens.

But when a man says, “I am troubled, it has become difficult to live,” even that cry is often treated as a weak complaint until his dead body is found.

Aman Sharma was not an ordinary man without legal awareness. He was a judge. He knew the system. He knew the law. If even such a man allegedly felt cornered, the question is brutal:

Where does a married man go when his own home becomes the place of mental torture?

This case must not be buried under polite words like “domestic dispute”.

If evidence shows harassment, humiliation, threats or coercive control, the law must act. Gender cannot become a shield from accountability.

NO COURTROOM EXCHANGE YET

As of the present reports, no detailed courtroom exchange in this specific case is publicly available. The matter is at investigation stage.

Any claim of judicial findings against the wife or relatives would be premature and legally unsafe.

CONCLUSION

The Aman Sharma case must be investigated without gender bias, status bias or institutional silence.

A man is dead. A family is alleging harassment. Police are investigating. The law requires evidence. But society must also learn one thing:

Men do not become immune to mental cruelty merely because they are educated, employed, successful or legally trained.

When men cry, listen before they die.
