The SHO said Paramjit returned home from the gym at around 8 p.m., when a parking dispute broke out with Sharma, who lives on the third floor of the same building, and the argument escalated into the shooting. Police said there had been tensions between the two families for some time, and that around five days before the shooting the accused had allegedly used abusive language against Paramjit's son. Another police-cited report said the neighbours had argued repeatedly over parking and over the accused's dog defecating outside the victim's home.
