The parents of an Indian IT professional, who was shot dead in Canada, had been asking their son to return home for some time, but he did not pay heed. Parents of Chandan Kumar, who was shot dead in Toronto, are inconsolable. The victim's mother claimed Chandan Kumar had formed a Kannada association in Toronto, which could be the reason behind his killing. “The 37-year-old Indian-Canadian died after being shot by unidentified men in the parking lot of a busy shopping centre in Toronto, Canada,” police said. In a statement on Sunday (February 8, 2026), the Toronto Police Service identified the victim as Chandan Kumar Raja Nandakumar of Brampton.
