Faridabad shocker: Singapore-based techie shot dead by neighbour over parking row, CCTV shows accused firing repeatedly

PTC Web Desk:  A 42-year-old man working with a multinational company in Singapore was shot dead by his neighbour in Faridabad on the evening of Dhanteras and CCTV footage of the attack has now come to light.

The victim, Paramjit Dhankhar, had returned to India only a day earlier to attend a family wedding. The incident took place on November 6 in Sector 21C. The police said Dhankhar lived on the first floor of the building, while the accused, Monu Sharma, lived on the third floor. The two had often argued over parking and other petty matters.

In the video, Sharma is seen calling Dhankhar out of his flat, saying he wanted to talk about a parking issue. Dhankhar’s son was also present. During the exchange, Sharma asks Dhankhar whether he knew what a “widow” was and accuses him of sending three people to assault him. Dhankhar looks puzzled, folds his hands and denies any role, repeatedly asking Sharma to explain what had happened.

Without warning, Sharma pulls a gun from his right pocket and opens fire. He fires several rounds within seconds as Dhankhar runs and his frightened son flees from the spot.

The footage shows the injured Dhankhar going out of the building and shutting the gate, with Sharma following him. Bleeding heavily, Dhankhar grabs the accused by the collar and the two scuffle briefly. A woman rushes out of the building shouting for help.

The attack does not end there. Sharma is seen reloading his weapon, walking back towards Dhankhar and firing four more rounds before walking away while abusing him. According to the video, he shouted “Happy Diwali, Mubarak” during the shooting and said he would kill everyone. The police have said 15 to 16 rounds were fired in all.

Sharma was arrested within a few hours. Surajkund SHO Prahlad Kumar said all crime branch teams were activated on the instructions of senior officers, which led to the quick arrest. Dhankhar, a former Tech Mahindra executive, had come home to attend his nephew’s wedding.
