Local reports from Lethbridge in Canada have confirmed that one resettled youth from Beldangi-II refugee camp was shot dead when police opened fire at him in response to a disturbance call.
The Calgary Herald quoted Hem Lal Timsina, Chairman of the Canadian Bhutanese Society, as naming the ill-fated Bhutanese as 26-year-old Raj Puri.
The initial findings have revealed that two policemen, who reached Puri’s apartment, fired their service weapons and killed him following reports of a disturbance involving a weapon at a home on Columbia Bay W.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is reportedly investigating into the fatal shooting, added the report. Meanwhile, police have recovered a knife from the spot.
Late Puri was resettled a year ago from Beldangi-II Sector F.
