DSP Jaimal Singh Nagoke is investigating the matter and police is yet to make arrests.
“Gurbir was my school time class mate. He was very talented, always good in sports, and he loved singing. He went to Australia a few years ago with so many dream, but it was unfortunate that when his father was sick he could not come back for some personal reasons," said one of Gurbir’s school time friends who doesn't want to be named.
“I share my grief with the family. Killing someone just for this reason is absolutely shocking,” he said in a statement to SBS Radio's Punjabi Program.
