A senior tech business executive who had flown home from Singapore for his nephew’s wedding was shot dead by his neighbour on Friday night in Haryana’s Faridabad, after a row over a parked car outside their shared building escalated into gunfire. The neighbour allegedly fired around 15 rounds from his licensed pistol, hitting him nine times, police said.
The fight began after victim Paramjit Dhankhar found the main accused Monu Sharma’s car in his designated spot in the parking area of the multi-storey building and asked him to move it.
The episode began when Dhankhar found Monu Sharma’s car parked in his designated spot in the parking area of the multi-storey building in Sector 21C when he returned from the gym, and asked him to move it. The argument that followed turned violent. Police, Crime Branch personnel and a Forensic Science Laboratory team reached the scene, and several empty cartridge cases were recovered.
“He had returned home from a gym around 8 pm, when a parking dispute broke out with Mohan alias Monu Sharma, who lives on the third floor of the same building.
The victim, Paramjit Dhankhar, who’d headed Indian IT major Tech Mahindra’s Asia operations and reportedly worked for a Vietnam-based company at present, died on the spot, police said. The accused, Mohan alias Monu Sharma, fled with his family after the shooting, police said. As the argument escalated, Monu opened fire on him,” the SHO said. Police said Sharma came to the parking area with his licensed pistol and opened fire. Police said the two families had been at odds for several days.
