The deputy superintendent of police (DSP) said, “The incident happened at around 1am on Thursday when constable Sikander Singh, who is posted at Punjab and Haryana high court, was having a party at his residence in Shivalik Vihar and his brother-in-law Ankit was also present.”

At around 1am, Ankit took the cop’s car for a ride. After some time, Sikander called him and asked him to return his car. The two got into a verbal spat and abused each other on the phone. Sikander then went to the parking area, where Anikit’s car was parked. He smashed the windowpanes of his car and fired one gun shot from his licensed pistol at the car.

The DSP said, “We have taken the damaged car and have recovered the licensed pistol of Sikander Singh. A case has been registered against him and he has been arrested. He will be produced before a court on Friday.”
