New Delhi: A doctor was found dead in his house here on Thursday with a deep cut wound on his neck, police said.
Police have detained a suspect, Sunny Sharma (23), a dietician by profession, they said.
DCP South Ankit Chauhand said that the police received a PCR call regarding a body lying in a house in South Delhi's Chattarpur Enclave area.
The victim, identified as Dr Sambit Mohanty from Odisha, had a deep cut wound on his neck and "blood was scattered on the floor, indicating a violent altercation", DCP added.
