Deadly Daylight Attack: Father-Son Duo Gunned Down in Haryana
24 Oct
Summary
- Two men in SUV shot dead father and son on motorcycle
- Assailants crashed vehicle, stole another bike to flee
- Murder linked to 2020 case where victim's son was convicted
On October 22nd, 2025, a shocking incident unfolded in Haryana's Sonipat district as two men in an SUV opened fire on a father-son duo riding a motorcycle. The attack occurred in broad daylight, with eyewitnesses reporting that the assailants fired 10-15 rounds, killing Dharamveer, 50, and his son Mohit, 25, on the spot.
After the shooting, the attackers crashed their vehicle into a roadside railing. They then snatched a motorcycle from a passerby to make their daring escape. Initial investigations suggest the murder may be linked to an old enmity, as Mohit was previously booked in a 2020 murder case and had even served time in jail.
According to the police, in 2020, Mohit and his friend Nitin had confessed to killing another man, Sagar, during a trip to Haridwar. Sagar's family had filed a complaint, and the murder trial was still ongoing in court. There had also been an earlier attempt to kill Mohit, in which three men were arrested.
On the day of the latest incident, Dharamveer and Mohit had left their village around 9:30 am for Kharkhoda when the attack occurred. Police have formed five teams to crack the case and are confident the accused will be arrested soon.
