New Delhi, April 27: Three members of a family here have lost their lives apparently over a parking brawl, a police officer said on Friday.
The deceased have been identified as Gurjeet, his elder brother Jaspal and his wife Sweety. They were found dead outside their house in Model Town late Thursday.
According to the officer, at around 11.20 p.m., the two businessmen brothers started fighting outside their house over parking spaces.
"During the scuffle, Jaspal first attacked Gurjeet with a sharp weapon. When he collapsed on the road, two Personal Security Officers (PSO) fired indiscriminately at Jaspal. A stray bullet also hit his wife Sweety."
"The PSOs escaped the spot after the incident," a senior police officer said.
The police were alerted by neighbours. The investigators are examining CCTV footages.
"Property disputes were not new among the two brothers. The bodies have been sent for autopsy and the next of kin have been informed," he added.

Absolutely not getting into that subject: Tharoor on Congress' objections on all-party delegations
New Delhi (PTI): Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Monday declined to join issue with some opposition parties, including his own, over the government's choice of MPs from their ranks for all-party delegations to foreign capitals following Operation Sindoor.
"I am absolutely not getting into that subject," he told reporters as the chairman of Parliament's Standing Committee on External Affairs arrived for its meeting, which is being briefed by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on the India-Pakistan military conflict after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Tharoor has been chosen by the BJP-led government to head one of the seven all-party delegations. His group will visit the US and four other countries.
The names of Tharoor and two other Congress MPs, who are members of other all-party delegations, had not figured among the four suggested by the main opposition party to the government.
The Congress and the Trinamool Congress, which has asked its sole representative Yusuf Pathan to opt out of the delegation, have criticised the government for not seeking their leaderships' consent for its choice of their leaders for the diplomatic outreach.
Accepting the nomination to lead the delegation to the US and four other countries, Tharoor had said in a post on X, "I am honoured by the invitation of the government of India to lead an all-party delegation to five key capitals, to present our nation's point of view on recent events."
"When national interest is involved, and my services are required, I will not be found wanting. Jai Hind!" he had added.
