Canadian police arrest victim's partner seven months after he allegedly killed Indian-origin woman
Canadian police on Friday arrested Abdul Ghafoori, a 32-year-old Toronto man accused of killing his Indian-origin girlfriend Himanshi Khurana in December last year. Ghafoori was arrested at an airport after being sought on a first-degree murder charge.
Nearly seven months after the discovery of Himanshi Khurana's body in Toronto, Canadian police have arrested her partner, Abdul Ghafoori, on murder charges. The 30-year-old Indian woman was found dead on December 20, 2025, in what authorities described as an act of intimate partner violence, according to Hindustan Times. Ghafoori, a 32-year-old resident of Toronto, was apprehended at an airport on Friday, December 20, 2025.
Toronto's fugitive squad and homicide unit collaborated with national and international law enforcement agencies to bring Ghafoori back to Canada, but the nationality he had been in remained undisclosed. This marks the 40th homicide in Toronto in 2025. The Indian Consulate in Toronto expressed shock and condolences over Khurana's death, stating they were working closely with local authorities and providing all possible assistance to the family.
