New Delhi, Mar 5 (ANI): External Affairs Minister S M Krishna on Friday expressed his deep condolences to the family of three-year-old Indian boy Gurshan Singh, who was found dead after vanishing from his Melbourne holiday home on Thursday.

“The Australian investigating agencies have confirmed that there was no external injury on the body of the three-year toddler,” added Krishna.

Meanwhile, Indian community leaders in Australia have pleaded for calm during the murder investigation into the death of three-year-old Gurshan.

The boy’s body was found dumped by the side of a road in Melbourne.

The toddler had disappeared six hours earlier from his Lalor home, 30 kilometers away.

The boy’s mother, Harpreet Kaur Channa, was in the shower when the toddler disappeared from their home.

His father had gone to the library without the three-year-old, a housemate said.

Housemate Sim Kaur said she was at home with Channa when the boy went missing.

She said the boy had been screaming because his father had gone to the library without him.

“He stopped shouting and I thought what happened?” Kaur said.

She said his father had left for the library a few minutes earlier with another housemate.

“He was insisting to come as well, then the father refused and he started crying,” she said.

Kaur said the family would go to the library two or three times a day so they initially thought the toddler had tried to follow the father.

Gurshan was due to fly home to India with his family within the next few days. (ANI)
