Kapurthala youth found dead in Canada

A young man from Rapurpeer Baksh village, near Bhulath (Kapurthala), has died under suspicious circumstances in Winnipeg, Canada. The deceased, identified as Davinder Singh, was found dead in a lake there.

Davinder moved to Canada around eight years ago on a student visa. While pursuing his education, he also worked part-time to support his family in India. Davinder was the sole breadwinner of the family, including his mother Gurmeet Kaur and his grandmother. His father had died around two decades ago.

According to family sources, Gurmeet Kaur last spoke to her son on July 16. He told her that he was preparing to go to work. However, the family received a phone call on July 22 informing them about his death. The Canadian authorities later confirmed that Davinder’s body was found in a lake in Winnipeg.

Gurmeet Kaur said, “My son was healthy, happy and responsible. We believe this is not a simple case of drowning. He was murdered and his body dumped into the lake.” The family is now demanding a thorough investigation by the Canadian authorities.

“He was a good boy from a respectable family. We want the truth behind his death to come out,” said a family friend.

The family has urged the Government of India and the Indian Consulate in Canada to intervene and ensure that a fair and impartial investigation is conducted.
