Indian man fatally stabbed in Canada, probe on

Ottawa

An Indian national was tragically stabbed to death in Rockland, a town near Ottawa, Canada. The Indian Embassy confirmed the news early Saturday and said a suspect is already in police custody.

The incident has shocked the local Indian community and sparked concern among citizens back home. The Embassy expressed deep sorrow over the loss and said it is working with a local community group to help the victim’s family.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of an Indian national in Rockland near Ottawa due to stabbing. A suspect is in custody. We’re in touch with the victim’s family through a community association to provide full support,” the Embassy posted on X.

Details about the incident are still unclear. Local reports suggest the stabbing happened in the early morning in the Clarence-Rockland area, though the police have not yet confirmed if this matches the Embassy's statement.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has stepped up its presence in the area. They have also issued a public warning asking residents to expect increased law enforcement activity as investigations continue.

The motive behind the stabbing is still unknown. Authorities are actively probing the case, and no further details about the victim or suspect have been released.

The Indian Embassy has assured it will remain in touch with local police and continue helping the bereaved family. It is also working to ensure all necessary steps are taken to support the family during this difficult time and to follow up on legal procedures as the case unfolds.
