On April 4, 2025, 27-year-old Dharmesh Kathireeya, an Indian national from Gujarat, was fatally stabbed in Rockland, Ontario. Kathireeya, who arrived in Canada as an international student in 2019 and was on a work permit, was attacked by a neighbor, a white male in his 60s, after exiting a shared laundry room. Prior incidents suggest the assailant had previously directed racial slurs at Kathireeya and his wife. The Ontario Provincial Police have taken the suspect into custody and are investigating the incident as a potential hate crime. Kathireeya's family in India has been informed, and local community members are rallying support for his bereaved wife. (PC: GoFundme)
