Domestic violence rattles B.C.

VANCOUVER—Three violent assaults in British Columbia against
South Asian women have rallied the community, victims and a
prominent politician into calling for action to fight domestic
violence among Indo-Canadians.
"The starting point is to have a discussion and to admit that we
have a problem," said B.C. Attorney General Wally Oppal, an
Indo-Canadian.
He said the word needs to get out to South Asians that this kind
of violence is not acceptable and help is available.
On Oct. 20, Gurjeet Kaur Ghuman, a Coquitlam nurse, was
riding in a car with her estranged husband.
He shot her in the head, then killed himself.
She's in serious condition in hospital.
Days later, the burned body of Manjit Panghali, four months
pregnant, was found in suburban Delta.
No one has been arrested in her death.
Last Sunday, Navreet Waraich, mother of a 4-month-old
boy, was stabbed to death. Her husband Jatinder has
been arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
