Hours before his death, Aman Kumar Sharma, the Delhi judge who was found dead by suicide on May 2, had made an alleged distress call to his father Prem Sharma.

According to reports, Aman Kumar told his father that he was "very troubled" and it has become "difficult" for him to live. And, he complained of being "harassed for two months".

His father, who was in Alwar, immediately left for Delhi and reached his son's residence around midnight. However, his daughter-in-law Swati allegedly asked him to leave.

According to the family's version, Aman Kumar was facing harassment from his wife for the past two months. They further added that a heated argument took place inside the house on the day Aman killed himself.

At the time of death, Aman Kumar, a law graduate from Symbiosis Law School, Pune, was serving as a full-time secretary at the district legal services authority in the north-east district at Karkardooma Courts, a post he had held since October 2025. He was 30 years old.
