Senior Vice President of FPT Software Killed in Faridabad Parking Dispute
Police say a neighbour opened fire on senior vice president Paramjith Dhankhar over a parking conflict in Faridabad, killing him and prompting a murder investigation.
Paramjith Dhankhar, a senior vice president at FPT Software Company Limited, was shot dead in Faridabad on Saturday, police reported. Investigators said the suspect, identified as Mohan Sharma, used a licensed pistol to fire about 15 rounds, nine of which struck Dhankhar, resulting in his immediate death.
The incident followed a series of confrontations between the two neighbours over Sharma's son allowing his dog to defecate in a shared parking area, which Dhankhar's family repeatedly objected to. Dhankhar had returned to Faridabad on November 5 after a trip to Singapore to attend a family wedding.
An FIR under section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act was lodged at Surajkund police station following a complaint by Dhankhar's son, Shaurya Dhankhar. Sharma fled the scene and has been missing since the shooting.
District police, crime branch officers, and forensic teams recovered empty cartridges at the site and transferred Dhankhar's body to Badshah Khan Civil Hospital for an autopsy.
"Multiple teams have been formed to arrest him as quickly as possible," said Yashpal Yadav, public relations officer of Faridabad police.
