The father of the management student, who was shot dead in Toronto earlier this month, has demanded that the government waive the loan that he has taken to send his son to study in Canada. Several people, including his friends and old classmates, on social media platforms have also been demanding the waiver.

Kartik Vasudev was shot dead in Toronto on April 7 outside the Sherburne subway station. He had gone there in January to study MBA. "We mortgaged our house and ornaments to send him to Canada for MBA. The Indian consulate in Canada helped us to bring his body back," Kartik's father Jitesh Vasudev told PTI on Tuesday.
