Neighbour arrested for fatal shooting in Faridabad after parking and dog dispute
A former Tech Mahindra executive was killed in Faridabad following an argument over parking and a dog, and the neighbour suspected of the shooting has been arrested.
A dispute over a parking space and a neighbour's dog in Faridabad's Sector 21C escalated into a fatal shooting on Friday night. Paramjith Dhankhar, a former regional business head for Tech Mahindra’s Asia-Pacific division, had returned from Singapore a day earlier to celebrate Diwali with his family. He was shot multiple times by his neighbour, Mohan Sharma, after an argument about parking. Police said Sharma fired 15 rounds, nine of which struck Dhankhar.
The two families lived in the same building, with Dhankhar’s family on the ground floor and Sharma’s on the second floor. Tensions had risen in recent days over Sharma’s dog defecating in the shared parking area, leading to repeated confrontations.
Sharma fled the scene with his family but was later apprehended in Ballabgarh, a suburb of Faridabad. "The suspect is being quizzed and will be produced before a Faridabad court and taken on police-remand for detailed interrogation," said Faridabad ACP (crime) Varun Kumar Dahiya.
Dhankhar’s son, Shaurya Dhankhar, filed a murder FIR under section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act at Surajkund police station.
