In rising concerns for the safety of Indians in Canada, last month, Dharmesh Kathiriya, a resident of Mota Varachha area of Surat was brutally stabbed to death in Canada. A neighbour attacked Dharmesh who had been living there with his wife Ravina.

The couple was washing clothes in a shared washing machine in the backyard of their home when the neighbour suddenly attacked. The assailant also attempted to attack the wife. When the husband tried to protect her, the attacker struck him again with the knife. The repeated stabbing left the victim covered in blood and he collapsed on the spot.

Originally from Nonghanvadar village in Palitana, Bhavnagar district, Vallabhbhai Kathiriya’s son Dharmesh had gone to Canada five years ago from Surat for higher studies. After completing his education, he obtained permanent residency and had settled in Ontario.
