Hunter Fatally Mauled by Bear During Arctic Expedition in Canada

An Indian student, 21-year-old Vanshika Saini, was found dead in Ottawa, Canada, after being reported missing since April 25. According to The Times of India, Saini, the daughter of Aam Aadmi Party leader Davinder Saini, left her residence at approximately 9 PM that evening to search for a rental room and did not return. Her family reported her uncharacteristic silence, as she typically maintained regular communication with loved ones. Saini’s phone was switched off, and she subsequently missed an exam, prompting her friends to raise concern and notify local authorities. Following their search efforts, her body was discovered near a beach area in Ottawa. The Indian High Commission in Canada confirmed that they are in touch with Saini's family and stated that the local police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. As the investigation progresses, community members and friends are expressing shock and mourning the sudden loss of a student who had moved to Canada after completing her education in India.
