Mystery deepens as another Indian student from Toronto university found dead in a month
Ahmedabad/IBNS: The body of Indian student Ayush Dankhara, found dead in Canada's Toronto, where he was studying, arrived in Gujarat's Ahmedabad on Saturday. This is the second such mysterious death in less than a month.
A native of Bhavnagar, Ayusha, 23, had gone missing on May 5 and his body was found two days later below a bridge in Toronto.
Ayush, the son of Ramesh Dankhara, a DSP with Gujarat Police, is the second student studying at York University in Toronto to have died under suspicious circumstances.
Earlier, another Gujarati student named Harsh Patel was found dead on April 16.
Naran Dankhara, Ayush's uncle, told TOI that he had completed his Class XII studies from Gandhinagar and enrolled at York University for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science.
He was living in a shared apartment in Toronto and did not return home on May 5.
After several failed attempts to search him, a missing complaint was lodged which led to the police finding his body on May 7.
His father flew to Canada to complete the procedures and bring his mortal remains back to Ahmedabad for the last rites.
Both Ayush and Harsh were on the verge of completing their studies at York University. Harsh was enrolled in management studies.
In a strange connection, both bodies were found near water bodies. Harsh's body was found in a lake in the city.
Both had been missing for over a day and in both cases, their cellphones were not found with their bodies.
The strange similarities in both cases have forced the police to rule out the suicide angle.
