‘I’ll deal with you’: Faridabad executive’s neighbour threatened him day before murder

On the day before Paramjith Dhankhar, a 42-year-old corporate executive, was fatally shot outside his home in Faridabad, he and his neighbour Mohan Sharma, 40, visited the Ankhir police post to resolve a dispute. Tensions had been rising between the two households for several days. The Dhankhar family had complained about damage to a shared parking gate and objected to Sharma's German Shepherd defecating in the common area.

Despite a temporary resolution, hostility persisted. Sharma allegedly threatened Dhankhar, warning him he would soon "deal with" him, according to neighbours. On Friday evening, Sharma confronted Dhankhar at his home in Sector 21C, asking him to come to the parking lot to move his car. When Dhankhar and his son Shaurya accompanied him, the confrontation erupted.

Sharma pulled out a gun and opened fire, firing 15 to 16 rounds. Shaurya managed to escape to the nearby parking area, while Dhankhar was hit by eight to nine bullets, suffering fatal injuries. Dhankhar was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Sharma fled the scene in his car, leaving Sharma's wife, brother, and two children as co-accused, according to the police FIR. Sharma, a real estate businessman with some other small ventures, had recently arrived in Faridabad to attend his nephew's wedding. The police are searching for Sharma's family members who fled the scene immediately after the shooting.
