Community mourns the death of Kartik Vasudev as his mortal remains arrive in India

Kartik Vasudev mortal remains arrive in India

It was a sight that left the whole community in Ghaziabad sombre when the mortal remains of Kartik Vasudev arrived back.

The mortal remains of 21-year-old Kartik Vasudev arrived at his home in Ghaziabad on Saturday from Canada, where he was shot dead on 7 April.

Kartik Vasudev was going to his part-time job in Toronto when he was shot dead outside a railway station. 

According to the local media reports, Kartik died due to multiple gunshot wounds outside Sherbourne station. 

The family has appealed for a comprehensive investigation in the case.

“It seems unlikely that these were just random crimes, as police say. The man murdered two people in two days. So there has to be a motive or a target, and it does not come across as random,” they told Indian Express.

“Why has this happened to him? I don’t know. Why he killed my innocent son, I just want to know,” Kartik’s father, Jitesh Vasudev, told CTV News Toronto on Saturday, “If he wanted something from him, he could have snatched it. So why has he killed him? It’s a brutal murder.”

Toronto police said officers were called to the entrance of Sherbourne Station at Glen Road just after 5 p.m. for the sound of gunshots.

When officers arrived, they located a man with multiple gunshot wounds outside the entrance’s doors.

“An off-duty paramedic actually rendered first aid to the victim. Unfortunately, he was transported to an area hospital in grave condition and pronounced dead later,” Duty Inspector Richard Harris said.
