In a shocking incident from Edmonton, Canada, a 55-year-old Indian-origin businessman, Arvi Singh Sagoo, was killed after confronting a stranger who was urinating on his car.

The assault took place in the early hours of October 19, when Sagoo and his girlfriend were returning to their vehicle after dinner. As they approached the car, they found a man relieving himself on it. When Sagoo confronted him and asked, “Hey, what are you doing?", the stranger allegedly replied, “Whatever I want," before punching Sagoo in the head, according to his brother’s statement to Global News.

Sagoo collapsed instantly, and his girlfriend called emergency services. Responding officers from the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) found him unresponsive near 109 Street and 100 Avenue. He was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support, but succumbed to his injuries on October 24, five days after the attack.

The accused, identified as 40-year-old Kyle Papin, has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Police said there was no prior connection between the suspect and the victim, describing the incident as “completely unprovoked."

The brutal attack has triggered anger and fear among the Indian community in Canada, where concerns are growing over the rise in racially motivated violence.

Family and friends described Sagoo as a warm-hearted and devoted father of two. His close friend, Vincent Ram, has launched an online fundraiser to support Sagoo’s children, cover funeral expenses, and secure their education.

“This fundraiser aims to honour a kind and loving father and ensure his children have the support they need during this devastating time," the campaign message read.
