A 22-year-old Indian-origin student from Gujarat’s Anand district was stabbed to death in Canada’s Niagara region on May 15, triggering concern among Indian families with children studying abroad. Vidhi Megha, originally from Borsad, had been living in Canada for three years to pursue higher education while working part-time to support herself. She was reportedly attacked in broad daylight by an unidentified assailant and later succumbed to fatal stab injuries at a nearby hospital. Canadian police have launched an investigation but have not disclosed details about the suspect or motive. Vidhi’s family has appealed to the Indian government to expedite the return of her body to India for final rites and funeral ceremonies.
