Roopesh Rajkumar, a 41 year old man accused of abducting and murdering his 11 year old daughter, Riya Rajkumar, died in a Toronto hospital on the 20th of February, 2019. He was admitted into the trauma center after self-inflicting a bullet, seconds after being taken into custody by police on the 14th. Roopesh was allegedly taking his daughter out to celebrate her birthday. However, Riya’s mother, with whom lived the girl, grew worried after they failed to arrive at the prearranged time at 6:30 pm. She contacted the police as soon as Roopesh claimed that he would kill the young girl. The police issued an amber alert at around 11:30 pm, alerting the community about the situation, as well as to where the vehicle was last spotted. Roopesh was taken into custody once Peel Police stopped him on Highway 11. Simultaneously, the police made their way into his Brampton home, where they found the murdered child. Her exact cause of death is yet to be released.
