A dispute over vehicle parking turned fatal in Faridabad on Friday night when a former senior executive of Tech Mahindra was shot dead allegedly by his neighbour. The victim, identified as Paramjith Dhankhar, previously served as the regional business head for the Asia-Pacific region at Tech Mahindra. Police said Dhankhar was confronted by his neighbour, Mohan Sharma, outside their shared residential building following an argument over car parking spaces. The verbal altercation rapidly escalated when Sharma allegedly brought out a licensed firearm and fired multiple rounds at Dhankhar at close range.
Fifteen Rounds Fired from Licensed Weapon
Investigators stated that Sharma allegedly discharged at least 15 rounds from his licensed gun during the confrontation. Dhankhar sustained nine bullet wounds in the barrage of gunfire and died on the spot before medical assistance could be provided. The sudden burst of gunfire in the residential neighbourhood caused severe panic among local residents who rushed out to find Dhankhar critically wounded on the ground. Forensic experts and police teams inspected the scene shortly after the incident to recover bullet casings and document the physical evidence left behind.
Accused Flees Scene Following Fatal Dispute
The suspect fled the area immediately after the shooting and has been evading arrest since Friday night. Police departments across Faridabad have initiated a search operation to track down Mohan Sharma and secure his custody. While both men were staying in the same residential building, investigators are looking into whether there was an ongoing feud between the two households or if the incident was triggered purely by the confrontation that evening. Law enforcement officials are currently recording statements from witnesses and relatives to establish the exact sequence of events leading up to the gunfire.
Corporate Executive Mourned as Police Probe Widens
The killing has drawn widespread attention due to the corporate standing of the victim, who had led prominent regional initiatives across Asia-Pacific markets during his tenure with the information technology firm. Investigators are also examining the documentation and records related to the firearm used in the crime to verify the terms of its license. Additional teams have been assigned to question acquaintances of the accused and track his possible movement routes outside the city, while the local authorities work to bring the absconding suspect to justice.
