Indian consulate seeks answers after international student found dead in Vancouver

The Indian Consulate is seeking answers after a 24-year-old international student was found dead in his car. “No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing,” stated a release from the Vancouver Police Department. The Vancouver Sun reports that the student came from India in 2022 to study at University Canada West; the India Times adds that he had recently completed his MBA program and had just secured a Canadian work permit. India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed concern over the number of deaths of Indian students overseas, which, while not believed to be connected, raised questions about the welfare of Indian students.”
