New Delhi, Apr 20 (PTI) A 34-year-old man was allegedly shot dead following a parking dispute in east Delhi’s Preet Vihar area in the early hours of Monday, an official said.
The incident occurred outside a house, where a quarrel broke out between two groups over parking of vehicles, he said.
“Two PCR calls were received at the Preet Vihar police station at 2.22 am and 2.26 am regarding a quarrel and a firing incident,” a senior police officer said.
The dispute involved Pankaj Nayyar (34) and his brother Paras (43) on one side, and Gaurav Sharma on the other. The argument escalated and Gaurav allegedly opened fire, hitting Nayyar in the chest, said the officer.
