Dera Bassi girl found dead on Canadian beach under mysterious circumstances

Ottawa: A 21-year-old girl from Dera Bassi, identified as Vanshika, daughter of Aam Aadmi Party leader Davinder Saini, has been found dead under mysterious circumstances on a beach in Canada. The family has alleged foul play and demanded a thorough investigation.

Vanshika had moved to Ottawa two and a half years ago for studies. According to her family, she left home for work on April 22 but never returned.

She was scheduled to appear for an IELTS exam on April 25, but her friend, who was accompanying her, could not reach her as her phone remained switched off. When the friend visited her residence, it was discovered that Vanshika had not returned since April 22.

Her disappearance prompted a widespread search by friends and local contacts in Canada, who also reached out to the area’s Member of Parliament.

On Tuesday, her body was reportedly found on a beach, sending shockwaves through her family and community in Saini Mohalla, Dera Bassi.

Davinder Saini, who is a close aide of MLA Kuljit Singh Randhawa, said he last spoke to Vanshika on April 22 and believes she may have been murdered. He has urged Indian and Canadian authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly.
