Indian student Vanshika found dead in Canada, sparking investigation; Indian High Commission offers assistance to family.
A 21-year-old Indian student who went missing three days ago in Canada's Ontario province has been found dead, according to authorities.
Vanshika’s death was confirmed by the Indian High Commission in Ottawa in an ‘X’ post on Monday (April 28, 2025).
"We are deeply saddened to be informed of the death of Ms. Vanshika, student from India in Ottawa," it said, adding that concerned authorities have taken up the case, which is now under investigation.
Vanshika went missing last Friday (April 25, 2025) after leaving her residence at 7 Majestic Drive in Ottawa at around 8-9 p.m. to view a rental room, according to a social media post by an Indo-Canadian association linked by the High Commission.
According to the post, her phone was switched off at approximately 11.40 p.m. that night and she missed an important exam the next day, which it said was "completely out of character" for the student.
The High Commission said it was in "close contact with the bereaved kin and local community associations to provide all possible assistance".
In an earlier post on ‘X’, it had urged people with any information about the case to contact local community organisations.
