Two Punjab men were allegedly shot dead while they were sitting inside a car in Canada's Edmonton.
The incident took place early Friday, local time, a family member said on Monday.
The victims were identified as 27-year-old Gurdeep Singh from Barre village and 19-year-old Ranvir Singh from Uddat Saidewala village.
Gurdeep had gone to Canada over two years ago and was awaiting a work permit approval.
Ranvir had left India one and a half years ago to pursue studies.
They were shot moments after they got into a car after leaving a birthday party.
Ranvir Singh was sitting in the driver's seat, with Gurdeep Singh beside him.
A few others sat in the back.
The assailants came in a car and sped away after firing shots, Ranvir's uncle, Mandeep Singh, said.
A bullet struck Ranvir while Gurdeep appeared to have been hit by shrapnel. -- PTI
