Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Tuesday met with the family of Chandan Kumar, a techie from Karnataka, who was murdered in Toronto, Canada.

G Parameshwara offered his condolences and assured the family of his support.

After meeting the family, Parameshwara, in a post on X, said, "The talented Chandan Kumar, who was working as a project manager in a software company in Toronto, was the only son of the retired teacher couple Nandan Kumar. Seeing the parents' wail of grief at losing the son who was supposed to live well and be their support filled his heart with immense distress. I pray that the divine grants the family the strength to bear this sorrow."
