Sunil Raghav alias Fauji (55), who retired from the Army, ran his own transport business and lived with his family in Anaj Mandi.
According to the police, Sunil had an argument with truck driver Dinesh Kumar on Wednesday.
“Preliminary probe revealed the argument escalated soon and Sunil slapped Dinesh in a fit of rage. His colleagues told us Dinesh was embarrassed after being hit in front of others. But we still have to probe further to find out the exact reason,” said Surender Singh, Manesar ACP. Around 2.30pm on Thursday, Dinesh barged into Sunil’s house when the truckers’ union leader was stepping out of home for work.
“He had just come out of the main door when Dinesh pointed a gun at him. As Sunil cried for help, Dinesh pumped four bullets into his chest and abdomen,” said an officer from Sector 37 police station.
Alerted by the retired Armyman’s cries, a relative rushed out of home. “No sooner did Sunil slump to the ground, his relative Sohit picked up an iron rod lying nearby and attacked Dinesh on the head. He started oozing blood from the wound,” the officer said.

“We came to know that even after being shot four times, Sunil grabbed Dinesh by the collar and tried to attack him with a brick. But Sohit rushed out and attacked the truck driver with a rod,” a crime branch officer said.
A case under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC and provisions of the Arms Act was registered against Dinesh on a complaint by Sunil’s son Sanjay. Till late on Thursday evening, none from Dinesh’s family had lodged any complaint.
Police have sourced footage from nearby CCTV cameras to scan them. Dinesh, sources said, had a criminal record and was accused in at least two cases of Arms Act in the city. “Two teams from Sector 37 police station and crime branch are investigating the case. Prima facie, it turns out to be the fallout of Wednesday’s scuffle,” an officer said.
