New Delhi: The father of Indian student, who shot dead during a robbery attempt in Canada’s Toronto early this month, has sought loan waiver from the government that he took to send his son to study in Canada.

His father Jitesh Vasudev said that family had mortgaged the house and gold ornaments to send Kartik to Canada for higher education and now they are in deep debt.
