They died trying to cross the border. Finding the smugglers who left them there – The Fifth Estate

Smugglers left the Patel family to cross the Canada–U.S. border on foot during a snowstorm in 2022. The family of four didn’t survive. Indian police say they know who planned the fatal border crossing. The Fifth Estate’s Steven D’Souza followed their trail from Gujarat, India, to a suburb in Canada.
