A man who had returned home from Singapore just two days earlier to attend a family wedding was shot dead by his neighbour following a parking dispute in Sector-21C, Faridabad, on Friday, 7 November 2025 — the occasion of Dhanteras. The deceased, Paramjit Dhankar, was struck by multiple bullets fired from a licenced pistol, according to police officials.
How the Shooting Unfolded
Paramjit Dhankar, a resident of house number 641 in Sector-21C, had returned to Faridabad from Singapore, where he was employed with a major company, just two days before the incident to attend his nephew's wedding, scheduled for 24 November. He originally belonged to Hisar, according to police.
At around 8 p.m., Paramjit reportedly returned home from the gym when a dispute broke out with his neighbour, Mohan alias Monu Sharma, who lives on the third floor of the same building. As the argument escalated, Monu allegedly opened fire using his licenced pistol, firing an estimated 15 to 16 rounds. Eight to nine bullets reportedly struck Paramjit, killing him at the scene.
Background: A Simmering Feud
Police have confirmed that tensions between the two families had been building for some time before the fatal confrontation. According to officials, approximately five days before the shooting, the accused had allegedly used abusive language against Paramjit's son — suggesting the parking dispute was the flashpoint of a longer-running conflict rather than an isolated altercation.
Notably, the shooting took place on the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras, when Paramjit's family was gathered for the upcoming wedding celebrations. His wife, son, and daughter had been living on the first floor of the house.
What the Police Said
Surajkund Station House Officer (SHO) Prahlad Kumar, while briefing reporters, said: 'Paramjit lived on the first floor of house number 641 with his wife, son and daughter. He was employed with a major company and had been residing in Singapore for work. He had returned to Faridabad just two days ago to attend his nephew's wedding, which was scheduled for November 24. Paramjit originally belonged to Hisar.'
The SHO added: 'It is reported that Paramjit returned home from the gym at around 8 p.m., when a parking dispute broke out with Mohan alias Monu Sharma, who lives on the third floor. As the argument escalated, Monu allegedly opened fire on him.'
Investigation Under Way
Following the shooting, the accused, Monu Sharma, reportedly fled the scene along with his family members. Police teams, personnel from the Crime Branch, and a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) were deployed to the site. Empty bullet shell casings were recovered as part of the evidence collection.
The body of Paramjit Dhankar has been sent for a post-mortem examination at ESI Medical College. A manhunt is currently under way to trace and arrest the accused, with further details expected as the investigation progresses.
Point of View
Yet walked into a feud that had already turned abusive. The use of a licenced firearm in a domestic dispute raises hard questions about how licences are granted and monitored in Haryana. Incidents of this kind — where everyday triggers like parking escalate into lethal violence — are disturbingly recurrent in peri-urban areas around Delhi, and each one warrants scrutiny of local grievance redressal mechanisms before the next argument turns fatal.
