Aligarh: Delhi Police's Crime Branch has arrested Devendra Sharma, alias "Doctor Death," from a Dausa ashram where he posed as a priest. The 67-year-old, originally from Aligarh's Chharra area, stands accused of over 50 murders across Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan between 1994-2020.
Investigators revealed Sharma's modus operandi involved targeting taxi drivers, disposing bodies in Kasganj's Hazara canal where crocodiles would consume evidence, then selling vehicles on the black market. The Ayurveda graduate (BAMS) previously ran an illegal kidney transplant racket involving 125 operations before turning to serial killings.
Currently serving life sentences in seven cases and a death penalty in another, Sharma had been on parole from Tihar Jail since August 2023. His arrest concludes a six-month manhunt involving multiple police teams tracking his movements across religious shelters. Forensic teams are now re-examining cold cases linked to his criminal patterns.
