Police, Rohini doc's kin suspect financial dispute behind deaths

New Delhi: The family of a 62-year-old doctor who allegedly killed his female employee before shooting himself, suspect that a financial dispute led to the incident, police said on Thursday.

Bodies of the general physician and his employee, a 50-year-old woman, with gunshot injuries were found in a car in Delhi's Rohini Sector-13 on Wednesday morning.

Preliminary investigation suggested that the doctor shot the woman on her chest with his licensed gun and then shot himself on the head, an officer said.

Following post-mortem at Dr Baba Sahib Ambedkar Hospital on Thursday, the bodies were handed over to the families.

According to police, the woman had an association of over 15 years with the doctorand was looking after the administration work of the hospital. Their association goes back to the time when the doctor had a clinic at Samaypur Badli where she worked as a midwife.

Later, when he started his own hospital in Rohini sector 15, she joined him, police said, adding the two families knew each other closely.
