FARIDABAD — Faridabad police arrested a resident within hours of a fatal late-night shooting triggered by an argument over parking space in Sector 21C. The gunfire erupted around 9:15 pm on Friday outside house number 641. Surajkund Station House Officer Prahlad Kumar confirmed the apprehension of the accused, identified as Monu Sharma alias Mohan, following an immediate cordon by specialized units.
The victim, 42-year-old Paramjeet, worked as an executive for a multinational corporation in Singapore. He had landed in India barely twenty-four hours earlier to attend his nephew’s wedding. He lived on the first floor of the building. Sharma lived on the third. The two had traded bitter complaints over vehicle slots for months. But on Friday night, the dispute boiled over into the driveway.
Sharma allegedly pulled out a licensed handgun and fired 14 rounds at point-blank range. Between eight and nine bullets struck Paramjeet in rapid succession. The assault was sudden and devastating. Family members scrambled outside, loaded the bleeding executive into a car, and raced to a nearby hospital. Attending physicians pronounced him dead on arrival.
"All crime branch teams were activated under direct orders from senior officers," said SHO Kumar. Detectives from the Crime Branch Sector 30 unit tracked Sharma's movements across the district border, intercepting and arresting him before dawn. Officers also seized the licensed firearm believed to have been used in the fatal shooting.

Investigators stated that forensic specialists are completing the victim’s post-mortem examination, after which Sharma will appear before a Faridabad magistrate for formal remand proceedings.
