CTV News channel.  On July 9, Gurvinder was delivering pizza at around 2.10 am on Mississauga's Britannia and Creditview roads, when unknown suspects confronted him and tried to steal his vehicle, PTI reported.  “Investigators do believe that there are multiple suspects involved and that the food order was placed as a means of luring the driver to this specific area. They have obtained an audio recording of the Pizza Pizza order placed before the attack," Inspector Phil King of Peel Regional Police’s Homicide Bureau said.  Police informed that Nath was violently assaulted and left critically injured by a suspect who robbed him of his vehicle and fled the scene.

Multiple witnesses came to his aid and called for help before Nath was rushed to a trauma center where he was pronounced dead on July 14. Siddhartha Nath, Consul General of India in Toronto extended condolences to his family members, friends, and the wider community, calling his death a “heartrending loss".

He said the consulate general has contacted the family after his death, as per PTI reports.  “It was heartening for me to see how the community responded and came together both online and physically to support the family in this time of grief. Of course, nothing can make good the loss, but it will be some solace to the grieving family and it's also a signal of the spirit of the community because it is in times like this when the spirit and solidarity and the sense of empathy is tested," the Consul General said.  The inspector said that police believe Gurvinder was an innocent victim.
