"He used to tell me, 'don't worry, Canada is very safe'," Jitesh Vasudev said today, recounting his conversations with his 21-year-old son Kartik, who was shot dead in Toronto.

Kartik Vasudev, a resident of Ghaziabad, moved to Toronto this January. He was pursuing a management course in Seneca College there and also worked part-time.

On Thursday evening, he was shot multiple times at the entrance of a subway station in Toronto while he was on his way to work, the city police have said.

An off-duty paramedic attended Kartik and he was subsequently rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to the gunshot wounds, police have said.
