This comes days after a man died after being shot multiple times by his neighbour in Haryana's Faridabad.

The victim, Paramjit Dhankhar, a former senior vice-president at Tech Mahindra, was visiting India from Singapore for his nephew's wedding when the incident took place.

A video of the shooting shows the accused, Monu Sharma, calling him out of his first-floor flat on the pretext of discussing a parking issue before opening fire on him.

The footage also captured an exchange between the two men shortly before the fatal shooting. The chilling incident in Faridabad took place two days before Diwali.
