Toronto(Canada): According to police, Gangadhar Babu, 29, is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant after allegedly operating as a psychic, fortune teller, and spiritual healer under the name “Babu” between April 2024 and September 2025. Investigators allege he exploited a victim’s belief in the supernatural by claiming that the victim and their loved ones would suffer death or serious harm unless they continued paying him for “spiritual protection.”Police allege the victim was defrauded of more than C$800,000. The suspect faces charges of:
Fraud over C$5,000
Possession of proceeds of crime over C$5,000
Laundering proceeds of Canadian crime
Toronto Police said the accused operated a business called “Indian Psychic and Spiritual Healer.” Authorities also stated they believe there may be additional victims and have asked anyone with information to come forward.Regarding the claim that he “fled to India,” Toronto Police’s official release does not explicitly state that. However, several news outlets reporting on the case say investigators believe the suspect has left Canada and is in India. That detail has been reported by media but is not included in the official police news release.
