Toronto (Rajeev Sharma): Toronto police are investigating the death of Himanshi Khurana, a 30-year-old Indian-origin woman, whose body was discovered in a local residence earlier this week. Authorities have issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a man believed to be linked to her death.
The Indian Consulate in Toronto expressed deep regret over the incident, extending condolences to the family and assuring that all possible support is being provided during this difficult time. Officials stated that they are working closely with local authorities as the investigation unfolds.
According to police reports, Khurana was reported missing late on Friday, December 19. Officers responded to a missing person call around 10:41 p.m. in the Strachan Avenue and Wellington Street West area. After an overnight search, her body was discovered at approximately 6:30 a.m. on Saturday inside a residence, and her death is being treated as a homicide.
Police identified Abdul Ghafoori, 32, as a suspect in the case. He is known to the victim and is now wanted for first-degree murder, which carries a potential life sentence without parole if premeditation is established. Investigators indicated that the case may involve intimate partner violence.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Ghafoori’s whereabouts to come forward, as the investigation remains active. The incident has raised concerns about domestic safety and the need for vigilance within the community.
