A tragic incident has left the residents of Sector 21C in Faridabad in shock after a man visiting from Singapore was shot dead by his neighbour during an argument. The victim, identified as Paramjeet Dhankar, had reportedly returned to India just two days prior to the incident to attend his nephew’s wedding, which was scheduled for November 24. Paramjeet, who originally hailed from Hisar, was residing on the first floor of house number 641 with his wife, son, and daughter.
According to the police, the fatal confrontation occurred on the night of Dhanteras, two days before Diwali, at approximately 8 p.m. Paramjeet had just returned home from a workout at the gym when he encountered his neighbour, Mohan—also known as Monu Sharma—who lived on the third floor of the same building. What began as a dispute over vehicle parking quickly escalated into a violent encounter. Law enforcement officials have noted that they are also investigating whether the conflict might have been linked to a pet dog.
Witnesses and preliminary police reports suggest the situation turned deadly when the accused allegedly drew a licensed pistol. Authorities stated that the assailant fired approximately 15 to 16 rounds during the altercation. Tragically, three to four of these bullets struck Paramjeet, causing him to collapse and succumb to his injuries at the scene. Following the shooting, the accused fled the area along with his family members.
The investigation into the case is currently being led by the local police, with support from the crime branch and the forensic science laboratory. Investigators recovered empty cartridges from the crime scene, which have been processed for evidence. Prahlad Kumar, the Station House Officer (SHO) of the Surajkund police station, confirmed the details of the incident and stated that multiple teams are actively working to locate and apprehend the suspect.
Background information provided by the authorities indicates that the two families had a strained relationship with a documented history of disputes. According to statements from the police, a confrontation had occurred merely five days prior to the fatal shooting, during which the accused had allegedly abused the victim’s son. This history of hostility appears to have culminated in the violent event on the night of Dhanteras.
As the investigation continues, the local community remains distressed by the intensity of the violence, particularly given the large number of rounds discharged in a residential area. The police have expressed their commitment to tracking down the suspect, who remains at large. The tragic loss of Paramjeet, who had travelled back to India specifically to celebrate a joyous family occasion, has left his relatives and the local community in mourning.
The authorities are conducting a thorough search for the accused while maintaining a heightened presence in the neighbourhood. Further details regarding the status of the investigation are expected as the police teams continue their search operations. For now, the focus of the law enforcement agencies remains on securing the arrest of the suspect to ensure that justice is served for the victim and his grieving family.
