According to an Aaj Tak digital report, the background and old record of main accused Monu Sharma, who was arrested in the murder case of Tech Mahindra's former senior vice president Paramjit Dhankhad, have come to the fore. Following this murder, links to the accused's previous crimes and controversies have begun to unravel during police investigation. The police are currently investigating this matter with seriousness and interrogation of the accused is underway.
Accused Monu Sharma is originally a resident of Faridabad, Haryana and runs a scrap business. According to the information provided by Aaj Tak, about two years ago he was involved in a GST evasion case. He was arrested for this crime and had to spend approximately two and a half months in Tihar jail. Now he is in police custody on the charge of Paramjit Dhankhad's murder and his interrogation is underway.
While living in Faridabad, Monu Sharma had earlier fallen into controversies twice as well. Two fights took place against him in the 2 to 3 Number Chowk area and Dabua area of Faridabad. However, compromises were later reached in both these matters, so no further police case or action progressed in these controversies. Despite his native residence being Faridabad, he had shifted to Delhi for a short time during the intervening period.
Even while living in Delhi, Monu Sharma had a major dispute with one of his neighbours. Following this altercation and fight, two crimes were registered against him by the neighbour at Delhi's Katju Marg police station. In return, Monu Sharma also got two separate crimes registered against his neighbour. Thus, a total of four police cases were registered from both sides. However, all cases were cancelled later after a mutual understanding was reached between both parties.
According to Aaj Tak, following the emergence of his name in a GST evasion case about two years ago, he was arrested and had to stay in Tihar jail for two and a half months. Now, after his arrest in the murder case of Paramjit Dhankhad, details of all these old controversies and criminal background of his are coming out. The police are thoroughly verifying all facts related to the murder and the statements of the accused.
Accused Monu Sharma's lavish and luxury lifestyle has also become a subject of discussion currently. He possesses several expensive and high-end cars. According to the information received, expensive cars like Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW and Mahindra XUV700 are included among them. Even though he does business in scrap, all these luxury cars in his possession are drawing everyone's attention. Currently, the police's main investigation is focused on Paramjit Dhankhad's murder and the fatal weapons used in this crime.
After executing the incident of Paramjit Dhankhad's murder, accused Monu Sharma fled to Samana in Punjab along with his wife and children. He left his family there at his in-laws' place. Samana is situated in Patiala district of Punjab. The police are also investigating minutely as to which places the accused wandered to after the murder and with whom he established contact. In this regard, the police are continuously interrogating him.
Currently, Monu Sharma is on a five-day police remand. His this remand is scheduled to end on November 13. During police interrogation, the accused himself has revealed that he possesses two licensed weapons. He told the police that out of those, one licensed pistol was used for firing bullets at Paramjit Dhankhad.
The police are now investigating this weapon and other aspects connected to it in-depth. Apart from this, a thorough investigation of the license of the weapon used in the murder and the government record obtained on the basis of it has also been undertaken.
