Neighbour arrested after fatal shooting over parking dispute in Haryana
Police say a man returning from Singapore was shot dead during a parking argument in Faridabad, and the alleged shooter remains at large.
Police in Faridabad, Haryana, reported that Paramjit Dhangar, who had traveled from Singapore to attend his nephew's wedding, was shot dead on the night of Nov 6 after a dispute over parking with a neighbour. According to Surajkund Station House Officer Prahlad Kumar, the argument began around 8 p.m. when Dhangar returned from the gym. The neighbour, identified as Mohan “Monu” Sharma, allegedly drew a licensed pistol and fired 15-16 rounds, eight to nine of which struck Dhangar.
Dhagar, a Singapore-based employee originally from Hisar, lived on the first floor of house 641 with his wife and two children. Sharma, who resides on the third floor of the same building, is said to have left the scene with family members after the shooting. Police, Crime Branch personnel and forensic experts recovered empty cartridge cases and sent Dhangar's body to ESI Medical College for a post-mortem examination.
Investigators noted prior tensions between the families, including a verbal altercation involving Dhangar's son and a dispute reportedly linked to a dog five days earlier. As of the morning of Nov 7, Sharma remained at large, prompting a police search.
The investigation continues, with forensic analysis expected to confirm the exact number of shots fired and the nature of Dhangar's injuries.
