Man from Moga district, Punjab murdered in Canada A man from village Duneke of district Moga in Punjab was allegedly murdered at Edmonton of Canada. Harpreet Singh Kang, known as Harry was 24 years old and was working as a truck driver in Edmonton. He had shifted to Canada in 2011 on student visa. On the night of April 9, he was traveling home from countryside in Edmonton when unidentified attackers allegedly murdered him. The Canadian police is yet to provide details of the incident and following probe to the family. Parminder Singh Kang, 55, his father, who lives in Moga, said, “We got to know about the incident on April 10. He was coming back home from countryside when a car banged into his truck. He came out of the car and questioned the driver. He also called his friends and police as he could sense trouble. But by the time his friends reached the spot, he was lying dead. We have been told that he was shot five times. The attackers also tried to snatch his phone and threatened him not to call police or anyone else. They were natives of Canada. We want Canada police to identify and arrest them as soon as possible.” “He was not wearing turban and had chopped his hair. He was killed in fit of rage because when the car banged into his vehicle, he came out and asked driver to pay for his loss. He was killed because he just raised his voice and wanted to report the incident to police.” The father said that he cannot afford bringing Harry’s body to his village Duneke in Moga and now his last rites will be done in Canada itself on April 27 at Trinity Funeral Home and an ardaas (prayer) will be held at Gurdwara Singh Sabha, Edmonton. “His friends are doing fundraising there and we will also be going there for his last rites and ardaas (prayers),” he said. His friends are raising funds in Canada for his last rites and to help his sister financially who has also reached Canada to study. In two days, $30,000 Canadian dollars have been collected. -PTC News-
