CCTV footage shows a Faridabad man allegedly chasing and repeatedly shooting his neighbour, former Tech Mahindra executive Paramjeet Dhankhar, even after he fell to the ground.

Fresh CCTV footage has emerged showing the murder of former Tech Mahindra regional business head Paramjeet Dhankhar in Faridabad. The video captures his neighbour, Mohan alias Monu Sharma, allegedly chasing him and firing multiple shots, even after he fell to the ground.

The footage shows the two men arguing for nearly four minutes before Sharma opens fire. Dhankhar attempts to escape and reaches for the building's gate, but the accused follows him and continues shooting.

After Dhankhar collapses, Sharma is heard shouting, "Happy Diwali. I will kill the whole family today." A woman relative tries to intervene, but the accused continues firing on the road and hurling abuses. The footage also shows him reloading his weapon.

Dhankhar, who was based in Singapore, had returned to Faridabad two days earlier to attend his nephew's wedding. He had previously worked as the regional business head for Tech Mahindra's Asia-Pacific operations and was serving as senior vice-president at FPT Software when he was killed.

Police suspect a long-running dispute between the two families over vehicle parking led to the confrontation. Investigators are also examining whether an earlier disagreement over a pet dog played a role in the escalation.

The accused was arrested at DLF Chowk in Ballabgarh. A case was registered at Surajkund police station following a complaint by Dhankhar's son.
