I guess you need a police FIR or whatever it is called in Canada. But not sure.

In case Indian passport is not available, please provide copy of Nativity Certificate / Domicile certificate issued by competent authority in India as your proof of Indian Origin.

You cannot apply for an Indian passport anymore you are Canadian citizen.
like @forw.jane mentioned follow this point in the link:

(ii) For lost of passports after June 1, 2010 - With the availability of copy of the lost passport, the applicant has to take pre-approval for submission of surrender application without the passport (as the passport is lost) at the BLS and on receiving the surrender application at the Consulate, the applicant will be issued Renunciation Certificate in place of Surrender Certificate by the Consulate for onward delivery by BLS to the applicant, That Renunciation Certificate will be enclosed for applying for OCI
