Ex-Tech Mahindra Executive Shot Dead by Neighbor in Faridabad Over Parking Dispute; Accused Arrested

A 42-year-old multinational company executive visiting India from Singapore for a family wedding was shot dead by his neighbor in Faridabad’s Sector 21C on November 6, the evening of Dhanteras. CCTV footage of the brutal daylight incident has since surfaced, detailing the sequence of events that led to the tragedy.

The victim, Paramjit Dhankhar, lived on the first floor of a residential building, while the accused, Monu Sharma, resided on the third floor. According to police, the two frequently clashed over parking and other minor neighborhood disputes.

The newly surfaced security camera footage reveals that Sharma called Dhankhar out of his first-floor flat under the pretext of discussing a parking issue. A heated argument ensued in the presence of Dhankhar’s young son.

During the exchange, Sharma accused Dhankhar of orchestrating an assault against him and questioned him aggressively. Dhankhar can be seen folding his hands, appearing confused, and denying any involvement while asking Sharma to calm down.

Without warning, Sharma pulled out a firearm from his pocket and began firing multiple rounds at Dhankhar. As the former Tech Mahindra executive attempted to flee, Sharma chased and continued shooting. Despite severe injuries and heavy bleeding, Dhankhar briefly fought back by grabbing the attacker’s collar.

In a shocking escalation captured on camera, as Dhankhar tried to escape outside the building gates, Sharma calmly reloaded his weapon, approached the victim, fired additional close-range shots, and walked away while hurling abuses. Eyewitnesses reported that the assailant shouted, “Happy Diwali, Mubarak” and threatened, “Sabko maar dunga, sabko maar ke jaunga” (I will kill everyone) as he carried out the attack.

Paramjit Dhankhar had arrived in India just a day prior to attend his nephew’s wedding. Following the shooting, local police and crime branch teams were immediately mobilized under senior officers’ directives.

Surajkund Station House Officer (SHO) Prahlad Kumar confirmed that accused Monu Sharma was tracked down and arrested within hours of the incident. Investigations into the murder and the weapon used remain ongoing.
