• Manjit Panghali, the sister of Jasmine Bhambra, was thirty-one years old when she was murdered by her husband. On 18 October 2006, Manjit Panghali was last seen attending a prenatal yoga class in Surrey. Twenty-six hours after her disappearance, her husband, Mukhtiar Panghali, lodged her missing complaint. Manjit Panghali’s badly burnt body remains were found alongside the Deltaport causeway. On 12 March 2007, Mukhtiar Panghali was detained by the Canadian police. A legal battle was fought for the couple’s only child, Maya, by the parents of Manjit Panghali and Mukhtiar soon after the arrest of Mukhtiar in 2007.

• In 2007, Jasmine Bhambra was granted custody of Manjit’s little daughter after a legal battle with Mukhtiar’s parents following his arrest.

• In a conversation with a media house, Jasmine Bhambra stated that the custody battle of Maya was the most difficult time of her life. She said,
  

  The custody battle was horrific and very traumatic, having to relive the trauma. It was horrific to see his face all the time. It was the most difficult time of my life.”

  Jasmine Bhambra further added that during that period she was facing cultural issues. She narrated,

  “In our culture, the man’s side of the family is seen as the dominant family. A woman adopting a child and bringing it into her new married family is uncommon and often frowned upon, so it was a stressful time in more than one way.”

• In February 2011, Mukhtiar Panghali was convicted of second-degree murder charges and interfering with human remains and was awarded life imprisonment.

• According to Jasmine, she always sees the glimpses of Manjit Panghali in her daughter, Maya. She explained some incidents about Maya in an interview with a media house. She said,
  

  Little things — the way she talks, her sense of humour — just the things she says sometimes make me go, ‘Oh my God, that is totally something Manj would have said.”

• Jasmine further remembered a dream that she had one night before when Jasmine won the custody of Maya. She said,
  

  I remember it vividly. We were all sitting around in a circle holding hands, with Maya in the middle, and Manjit just said to me, ‘It’s OK. She’s yours. We won.’

• According to Jasmine Bhambra, after two days of Manjit’s disappearance, Jasmine went to Mukhtiar Panghali to ask about the whereabouts of her sister, but he was not interested in answering. In a media conversation, she stated,
  

  We went over to the house and he wouldn’t answer any questions. Mr. Panghali seemed curiously uninterested in finding his missing wife. We talked about hiring a private investigator, three times we mentioned it, and he didn’t say a word.”

• In 2011, Jasmine Bhambra established a private scholarship fund that aims to meet with community groups in Canada to start a program that would help victims of domestic violence. She stated in a conversation with a media house that Manjit’s daughter, Maya, would play an important role in this project when she would grow up. She said,
  

  I’m hoping that maybe Maya can take over that when she gets older and maybe help out victims of violent crime.”
