21-year-old Indian student, missing for four days, found dead in Canada
Ottawa: An Indian student, missing for the past four days, was found dead in Ottawa, the Indian High Commission in Canada confirmed on Tuesday.
An extensive search operation was underway after the student, Vanshika Saini, went missing on April 25. The family got worried after the 21-year-old's phone was consistently switched off. “Vanshika has been missing since the evening of Friday, April 25th, 2025, after leaving her residence at 7 Majestic Drive around 8-9 PM to view a rental room. Her phone was switched off at approximately 11:40 PM that night, and she missed an important exam the following day an action completely out of character for her,” read a letter written to the Ottawa Police Service by the Hindi Community in Ottawa.
As per media reports, Vanshika, the daughter of a local AAP leader from Punjab’s Dera Bassi, was found dead on a beach near her college in Ottawa. The investigating officers are yet to recover Vanshika's mobile phone.
The cause of the death is currently under investigation.
The Indian High Commission in Canada stated that it is in close contact with the bereaved families and local community associations to offer all possible assistance.

Man kills 15-year-old son, dies by suicide in Maharashtra's Palghar
Palghar (PTI): A man allegedly strangled his 15-year-old son and hanged himself at their house in Maharashtra's Palghar district, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred in Pimpalsheth village in the tribal-dominated Jawhar taluka on Wednesday, an official said.
Sharad Bhoye (40), a conductor with the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST) who was under suspension, strangled his son Bhavesh with a wire rope, sub-inspector Anil Dighole said.
He said Sharad had been under suspension for the last three months and was depressed about the situation.
As per preliminary probe, Bhoye had gone to his farmhouse around noon on Wednesday and strangled his son, a Class 10 student, after he returned home from school, and also banged the boy's body on the floor, causing fatal injuries.
The man then hanged himself from the ceiling in another room in the house, the official said.
Bhoye's father, who lived nearby, discovered the bodies and the authorities were alerted, he said.
The official said the bodies were sent for post-mortem, and a case was registered.
