Toronto police are searching for Gangadhar Babu, a 29-year-old Indian national, accused of posing as a psychic and spiritual healer to defraud a victim of thousands of dollars. Babu operated under the name 'Babu' and ran a business called Indian Psychic and Spiritual Healer. Police allege he exploited the victim's belief in the supernatural, convincing them to pay for 'spiritual protection' to avoid death or harm. Babu is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for fraud over $5,000, possession of proceeds obtained by crime over $5,000, and laundering proceeds of Canadian crime. Police believe there may be additional victims and urge anyone targeted to come forward.
