A youth from Punjab was murdered by some unidentified assailants in Brisbane city of Australia. The youth, identified as Rajveer from Ludhiana, was brutally thrashed and strangulated before he was thrown near his house.

Rajveer was attacked at his house in Brisbane on August 8. “Dad save me, they have entered my home, they will kill me, please do something, please save me”, and the call disconnected. These were the last words of Rajveer to his father, Kulwant Singh.

Kulwant Singh tried to establish contact with his son but there was no response. After two hours of frantic calls, someone identifying himself to be an employee of a private hospital, responded to the call and told Kulwant that his son was on a ventilator and that chances of his survival were thin.

Rajveer had gone to Australia in December 2007. He had completed his hotel management course from an institute in Melbourne and later settled in Brisbane. At present, he was working in a restaurant.
