An investigation was conducted by the Surrey RCMP’s Missing Persons Unit, evidence was collected that has led investigators to believe that Ms. Kaur may be a victim of foul play. 

Investigators said Navdeep Kaur was last seen on February 22, 2024 at 10:30 p.m. in the 7800-block of 123 Street, in Surrey. She is described as 28-years-old, South Asian, 5’5, 125lbs, with long black hair, and brown eyes.

On November 7th police identified the remains as those of Navdeep Kaur. IHIT has continued to pursue a number of investigative avenues to determine the circumstances surrounding Ms. Kaur’s death.

Update March 2026:
Homicide investigators carefully reviewed evidence collected from multiple crime scenes and reconstructed a sequence of events surrounding the case. After completing their investigation, the evidence was submitted to the BC Prosecution Service along with a recommendation to lay charges.

On March 6, 2026, Amarbir Singh, 24, was formally charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of 28-year-old Navdeep Kaur. At the time Ms. Kaur disappeared, the two were reportedly in a relationship.

Authorities have issued a Canada-wide warrant for Singh’s arrest.

According to Sgt. Freda Fong of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), investigators believe Singh may have already left the country. However, she emphasized that this will not stop the investigation.

Police say they will continue efforts to locate Singh and are prepared to work with international law enforcement partners if necessary to bring him before the court.

Investigators are asking anyone who may have information about Singh’s whereabouts to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448
