  "account": "A Canadian man, 32-year-old Abdul Ghafoori, has been arrested nearly seven months after the murder of his Indian partner, Himanshi Khurana, in Toronto. Ghafoori, a Toronto resident, was wanted across Canada for Khurana's first-degree murder. He was apprehended at a Toronto airport on Friday by police from the city's fugitive squad and homicide unit, working in coordination with national and international police services. The authorities did not disclose Ghafoori's location prior to his arrest. Khurana's body was discovered on December 20, 2025, after police received a missing persons report around 10.41pm from the Strachan Avenue and Wellington Street West area. The investigation revealed that Ghafoori and Khurana were in an intimate partner relationship and that the killing was classified as \"intimate partner violence.\" Indian media reported that Ghafoori was arrested on Friday, ending a nearly seven-month search. The Consulate General of India in Toronto expressed shock and grief over Khurana's death, providing support to her family while working closely with local authorities. Ghafoori now faces legal proceedings in Canada for the first-degree murder charge.",
