TORONTO – The tragic murder of a 30-year-old woman has led to a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a suspect known to the victim. The victim has been identified as Himanshi Khurana, and the Toronto Police are actively searching for Abdul Ghafoori, 32, who also resides in Toronto.
The Indian Consulate General in Toronto confirmed the development, stating that officials have been monitoring the situation closely and are providing all possible assistance to Khurana’s family in coordination with Canadian authorities.
