An
Indian-origin man from Ludhiana, Punjab, was fatally shot in Surrey, Canada, on
Friday. The victim, Yuvraj Goyal, 28, arrived in Canada on a student visa in
2019 and had recently obtained his Permanent Resident (PR) status.
Yuvraj was
employed as a sales executive. His father, Rajesh Goyal, operates a firewood
business, and his mother, Shakun Goyal, is a homemaker. The Royal Canadian Police
confirmed that Yuvraj had no criminal record, and the reason behind his murder
is still being investigated.
The incident
occurred on June 7 at 8:46 am when Surrey Police received a call about a
shooting in the 900-block of 164 Street in Surrey, British Columbia. Upon
arrival, officers discovered Yuvraj deceased. Four suspects have been arrested:
Manvir Basram (23), Sahib Basra (20), and Harkirat Jhutty (23) from Surrey, and
Keilon Francois (20) from Ontario. They have been charged with first-degree
murder.
Sergeant
Timothy Pierotti stated, "We appreciate the hard work of the Surrey RCMP,
Air 1, and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (IERT), but
there is still more work to be done. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team
(IHIT) remains committed to uncovering why Mr. Goyal was targeted."
Preliminary
investigations suggest that the shooting was targeted, though the reasons
behind Yuvraj's killing are still being examined.
