A 28-year-old Indian-origin woman has died following an alleged stabbing incident at her home in Dandenong, Melbourne, Australia. The woman has been identified by members of the local Punjabi community as Baljit Kaur. Her parents, who are currently in India, are seeking urgent visa assistance to travel to Australia and attend their daughter's final rites.
What Happened To Baljit Kaur?
The incident took place at Kaur's home in Dandenong, in Melbourne's south-east, on November 6. According to community members, she suffered serious stab injuries and later died on Thursday. Victoria Police confirmed that a woman had suffered life-threatening injuries in the incident. However, officers have not publicly confirmed her identity or the circumstances surrounding her reported death.
❤️SHE MATTERS: BALJIT KAUR ❤️ Baljit Kaur deserved all the good things. Safety, care, love and kindness. And her family deserves the very same. The 29-year-old was stabbed at her home in Dandenong, Victoria on November 6, 2026. Her death was confirmed five days later on November 12. Two men were found with injuries at her home and taken to hospital - one of them was her husband. He is now under guard in hospital as detectives investigate his actions. Baljit is the 61st Australian woman lost to violence this year. Last year we lost 80 women to violence - the year before 106 women were killed. As news of her death emerged yesterday, social media-based crime pages started running stories blaming Baljit for her own death - including references to a 'love triangle'. As well as the trauma of losing their beloved woman and having to get visas to come to Australia to finalise her last journey, Baljit's family has to watch innuendo and gossip flow across social media accounts. Baljit's loved ones deserve our kindness and empathy.
