A 34-year-old man was allegedly shot dead following a parking dispute in east Delhi Preet Vihar area in the early hours of Monday, an official said.

The incident occurred outside a house, where a quarrel broke out between two groups over parking of vehicles, he said.

“Two PCR calls were received at the Preet Vihar police station at 2.22 am and 2.26 am regarding a quarrel and a firing incident,” a senior police officer said.
