A 30-year-old Indian-origin woman was found murdered in Toronto, police said, and a Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect they say knew the victim.
The woman was identified as Himanshi Khurana of Toronto. Police are searching for Abdul Ghafoori (32), also of Toronto, in connection with the murder. Police said the case appears to involve “intimate partner violence”, according to CBC News.
Toronto Police said officers were called late Friday night after receiving a report of a missing person. “On Friday, December 19, 2025, at approximately 10:41 pm, police responded to a call for a Missing Person in the Strachan Avenue and Wellington Street West area,” police said.
The investigation continued overnight. “On Saturday, December 20, 2025, at approximately 6:30 am, officers located the missing female deceased inside a residence,” police said, adding that the death was deemed a homicide.
Police said the victim and the suspect were known to each other. Ghafoori is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for first-degree murder, a charge that can carry a life sentence without parole if premeditation and intent are proven in court.
In a post on X, India’s Consulate in Toronto said it is assisting Himanshi Khurana’s family.
