Yuvraj Goyal’s family speaks out

Following the shocking incident, Yuvraj Goyal’s mom, Shakun stated that the family was in deep shock and stated how she had visited her son earlier this year in March. Shakun shared:

I spoke to him shortly before the incident. He was in his car, returning home from the gym early in the morning. He told me to go to sleep, as it was nighttime here in India. He said he would call back later.”

“I don’t think anyone can give us justice. No one can bring our son back, but the Canadian government must understand that parents send their children to Canada with a lot of dreams, not to get their lifeless bodies back.”

Shakun further challenged the Canadian government to strictly punish the suspects and shared how her son never had even a minor clash with anyone since moving to Canada in 2019.  According to Goyal’s family, he may have been the victim of a mistaken identity.
