# Man arrested in Toronto for murder of Indian partner Himanshi Khurana 2026-08-09T21:51:24+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Abdul Ghafoori, 32, was arrested at a Toronto airport on Friday after more than seven months on the run and charged with first-degree murder in the death of his Indian partner, Himanshi Khurana. A first-degree murder conviction in Canada carries a mandatory life sentence with no full parole eligibility for 25 years. Police had issued a warrant for Ghafoori after Khurana's body was found in a Toronto residence on December 20 last year. Officers from the Fugitive Squad and Homicide and Missing Persons Unit worked with national and international agencies to facilitate Ghafoori's return, though authorities did not disclose which country he had fled to. The Consulate General of India in Toronto expressed shock over Khurana's death and said it was assisting her family. Police have not released further details about the homicide. ## Coverage - rediff.com Tags: Abdul Ghafoori, crime, Himanshi Khurana, India-Canada, murder, Toronto Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/man-arrested-in-toronto-for-murder-of-indian-partner-himanshi-khurana/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
