Canadian Robber Involved in Crash Killing Indian Family of Three Also Hails from India

The collision of vehicles on a highway in Canada led to the death of a couple from Tamil Nadu, who were there on a family visit, and their three-month-old grandson.

During a police pursuit of a liquor store burglar in Ontario, Canada, tragedy struck as the suspect's truck collided with another vehicle, resulting in the deaths of three members of an Indian family. Shockingly, it has now been revealed that the suspected robber, who died in the crash, also had Indian origins.

On April 29, a 21-year-old burglary suspect of Indian descent, identified as Gagandeep Singh, was being pursued by Ontario Police when his U-Haul truck crashed into a van carrying members of the Srinivasapillai-Ananthakrishnan family from Tamil Nadu, who were visiting Canada. The collision claimed the lives of Manivannan Srinivasapillai, 60, Mahalakshmi Ananthakrishnan, 55, and their three-month-old grandson, Aditya Vivaan. Miraculously, the boy's parents survived the crash.

The tragic incident has sparked debate about the Canadian bail system, as Singh had been released on bail for minor offenses prior to the fatal crash. While some, including Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre, argue that a better bail system could have prevented the deaths, others believe Singh's releases were justified based on the information available at the time.

Meanwhile, a funeral was held for Aditya Vivaan, the youngest victim of the crash, who was remembered as a "beautiful soul" that brought immense joy during his short time on earth. The family's grief is compounded by the fact that Aditya's grandparents, who had traveled from India to meet their grandson, were also among the casualties and were cremated earlier in the week.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is currently investigating the crash, which resulted in the death of the van driver and serious injuries to the passenger.
