NEW DELHI: Liquor baron Ponty Chadha and his brother, Hardeep, were shot dead on Saturday allegedly by each other in a crossfire during a meeting which was held at their farmhouse in Mehrauli in south Delhi to sort their ongoing property dispute.

The incident was reported around 1pm when gunshots rang at Chadha's sprawling farmhouse. Sources said the meeting began peacefully but soon an argument ensued between them. The argument turned nasty after both brothers whipped out guns and so did their supporters which were with them, said a senior police officer.

Soon, they opened fire in which bullets hit both brothers in the chest area.

There were conflicting reports about the firing. Some of the witnesses told cops that Hardeep whipped out a gun after which Ponty's security guards opened fire even as Hardeep fired too. Senior cops however said it was too early to say anything as the statements had to be recorded, verified and cross-checked to ascertain the exact sequence of events.

As per witnesses, guards tried to intervene but they also suffered injuries in the incident.

Both the brothers were rushed to the hospital where they were declared dead after initial attempts to revive them failed.

Police were informed around 1.10pm and soon senior officers rushed to the spot.

The crime and FSL team rushed to the scene of crime and lifted finger prints and other evidence. Empty cartridges have been recovered and the cops are trying to ascertain the weapons used in the firing.

Investigation is in progress and a case under appropriate sections is being registered.

Gaurang Kanth, Hardeep Chadha's lawyer, in a statement said, "There was a dispute over the property after their father's demise. I don't know how to react as I spoke to Hardeep at 12.15pm where we discussed about the dispute. He told me he was anticipating he will lose control over some of the properties which were over his control."

The police is questioning the security guards and several people including the ones working at the farmhouse have been detained for questioning.

The cops will recreate the scene of crime to ascertain the exact sequence of events and to determine who fired at whom first.

Hospital sources said Ponty Chadha may have sustained at least 10-12 bullets while his brother is suspected to have been shot at least four times. Exact details will be ascertained in the post mortem.
Chadha's business empire constitutes distilleries, multiplexes, sugar and paper mills, real estate, poultry and films. He was producer of the Sunny Deol starrer Jo Bole So Nihaal.

He is one of the prominent names in liquor business in Uttar Pradesh and was granted the sole distributorship for liquor under the Mayawati regime.
