A parking dispute turned fatal in Haryana's Faridabad after a man was shot dead by his neighbour, who fired 15–16 rounds from his licensed pistol, on the night of Dhanteras. The victim, identified as Paramjeet Dhankar, sustained 8–9 bullet injuries and died in the attack.
The incident took place in Sector 21C, two days before Diwali. The accused, identified as Mohan alias Monu Sharma, opened fire on Paramjeet following an argument over parking a vehicle. He fled with his family after the shooting, and police teams are searching for him.
VICTIM HAD RETURNED FROM SINGAPORE FOR NEPHEW'S WEDDING
Paramjeet lived with his wife, son and daughter on the first floor of house number 641. He worked for a large national company and stayed in Singapore for professional commitments. He had returned to Faridabad just two days before the incident to attend his nephew's wedding, scheduled for November 24.
Originally from Hisar, Paramjeet had returned home from the gym at around 8 pm when the dispute broke out with Mohan, who lived on the third floor of the same building.
According to the information shared by the police, the disagreement over parking escalated, following which the accused pulled out his licensed pistol and fired multiple rounds at Paramjeet.
FAMILIES HAD PREVIOUS DISPUTES, ACCUSED FLED
Police said the two families had a history of disagreements. Five days before the shooting, Mohan had abused Paramjeet's son following a dispute over a dog.
After the shooting, the accused fled with his family. Police, Crime Branch personnel and a forensic science laboratory (FSL) team reached the spot after receiving information about the incident.
Empty cartridge cases were recovered from the scene as part of the investigation. Police are conducting searches to trace the accused.
Paramjeet's body will be sent for a post-mortem examination at ESIC Medical College.
