A shocking family dispute turned deadly in Punjab’s Derabassi area after a businessman died from gunshot injuries allegedly inflicted by his own nephew, who later abducted him and fled the scene. Police have since arrested the accused, identified as Sahil, in Haryana following a coordinated interstate operation.
The incident took place on Wednesday evening at the office of Jai Ambe Plywood Hardware and Construction Private Limited in Gholumajra village near Lalru. According to police, an argument over a family-related business dispute escalated into violence when Sahil allegedly opened fire on his uncle, Rahul Malik (45), a property dealer and resident of SBP Derabassi.
After the shooting, Sahil allegedly placed the injured Rahul Malik in a vehicle and fled from the spot. Investigators said he also removed the DVR of the office CCTV system before escaping. Police teams from Derabassi and Lalru immediately launched a search operation and tracked the vehicle through toll plaza surveillance and location-sharing systems.
Punjab Police alerted Haryana Police after learning that the accused was heading towards Haryana via Ambala. Authorities eventually intercepted and arrested Sahil and recovered the vehicle used in the crime.
Police sources revealed that both the accused and the victim originally belonged to Panipat, Haryana. Rahul Malik reportedly suffered two gunshot wounds and lost a significant amount of blood, leading to his death. His body has been kept at the Civil Hospital in Panipat for post-mortem examination.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the region, while police continue legal proceedings and further investigation into the case.
