When the cops reached the spot, they found the woman lying with life-threatening injuries. She was transported to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries on Sunday.
"I was shocked (Sunday) morning when I read about the charges," thestar.com quoted Parth Midha, a friend who attended high school with Bhavan, as saying.
"He was a regular kid throughout high school -- we played sports together in middle school, he was a funny guy, and got along well with people."
Bhavan was arrested from the scene of the crime and charged with murder.
Mississuaga is home to a huge population of Indian and Pakistan origin.
It is the sixth largest city in Canada.
