An Indian real estate agent in Canada told a court he abducted a 9-year-old boy because it was “acceptable in his culture." He is now struggling to avoid deportation following his conviction.
37-year-old Manoj Govindbalunikam was sentenced to 18 months in prison in April after being found guilty of abducting a minor in Ontario in August 2023. He has pleaded not guilty to abducting the boy. Manoj gave the kid ice cream and toys. Police also found photos of Manoj with the boy inside his yellow Chevrolet Camaro.
